Saratoga Pilgrimage, Sept 19th to 22nd, 1902.

TO the world outside, Saratoga Springs is famous
for its waters, which gush from a rocky strata
with many medicinal properties and many distinct
flavors. People who visit the place take the waters seri-
ously, and morning, noon and night, according to the
fashion, the springs are visited by their devotees and
gallons of water disappear down the willing throats of
the worshippers at the shrine of Aqua Pura.

To others of the word outside, Saratoga Springs is
noted for its home of high play and its horse racing.
Here during the season are assembled the most motley
gang that can be gathered together, from the million-
aire, who sets the pace, to the New York boot-black,
who follows the lead of Ids superior. The heavy plung-
er and the crap-shooter are assembled here to gamble,
and every opportunity is given them to do so. The
streets are overrun with all conditions of men, and the
hotels swarm with everything that has the price. Dia-
monds sparkle on the haggard visages, and distorted
figures of erstwhile affluent Hebrews.

To others also of the world outside, Saratoga Springs
is famous for its Floral Festival and Carnival Week.
This event draws annually one hundred thousand people
to the village to witness the pageant, who spend at least
a quarter of a million dollars during their stav. The
programme for this year was as follows :

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER i.
Floral Ball at Convention Hall.
The name of the spectacular dance to be produced this
year is "Egypt, or the Lotus Blossom." In it are intro-
duced : March of the Priests and Attendants, Harpists,
Cymbal Dancers, Trumpeters, Slaves, blower Girls, etc. ;
Dance of the Sun Worshippers; Dance of the Lotus
Blossom; Dance of the Mummies: Snake Charmer's
Dance; Dance of Cymbals ; The Argus Eye, or Peacock
Dance, and Nautch Girls' Dance with Slaves, and sur-
prises. Over two hundred children and young ladies
take part, and their costumes are all new and original,
made expressly for this occasion.

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2.

Fireworks at the New Race Track.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 3.

Receptions.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 4.

2.20 p. m. Floral Parade.

8.30 p. m. Grand illuminated Proteus Parade with
over one hundred characters in gorgeous costumes and
twenty beautiful floats brilliantly illuminated. This pag-
eant, with the costumes, appeared at New Orleans last
Mardi Gras.

_ 9.30 p. m. Grand Proteus Costume Ball at Conven-
tion Hall. Proteus and all of his lords and ladies in their
court costumes will be received by Queen Flora.

To more of the world outside Saratoga Springs is
famous as a convention town, as it has an auditorium of
large capacity, and its numerous hotels are capable of
entertaining one hundred thousand guests.

The Business Men's Association is composed of ener-
getic and progressive citizens, who arc constantly look-
ing out for the material welfare of their attractive town
with good results.

But it remained to a few of the world ou.side to call
attention to Saratoga Springs' greatest source of inter-
est and revenue.

The battlefield of Saratoga.

The famous historian, Crecy, gives the battle of Sara-
toga as one of the fifteen famous battles c>i the world.
The Saratoga Battlefield Association have placed tab-
lets at the principal points of interest, but have then
stopped short of what should have been accomplished.
It remains for the Business Men's Association, backed
up by the public patriotic sentiment, to make the anni-
versary of the battle of Bemis Heights, September 19,
of such national importance that two hundred thousand
people may be gathered for the ceremonies. The first
move that should be made is to get the State of New
York to purchase Freeman's farms as a public park.
On this place overlooking a spring that both armies
tried to secure, more blood was shed than upon any spot
on the field ; to-day, a hog-sty occupies the site that
should' be sacred and unpolluted.

The Society lor the Preservation of Historic and
Scenic Places would no doubt take up the work of pres-
ervation were they requested to do so by public senti-
ment.

At the dedication of Stony Point, in the wilds of Rock-
land county, thirteen thousand people attended the cere-
monies. If Saratoga should dedicate this battlefield; and
properly prepared for it a year or two in advance, it
would make an event of national importance. There
are, in the United States, many independent military
companies (who wear the continental uniform) that
make annual trips about the country. If all these could
be gathered together on. the anniversary of tins battle
and take part in a sham light, it wotdd make a spectacle
that the world outside would gladly see.

There are one hundred thousand members of patriotic
societies who would be interested in, such a gathering,
and they wotdd be bound to be more desirable visitors
than thosi who are drawn to the races. B\ making the
event of September 19th a worthy one, the summer resi-
dents would prolong their season until this date, and.
people returning from the mountains and lakes, would
stop here a few days, and. this would all mean additional
revenue to Saratoga Springs, and that is what those who
seek its welfare are working for.

SriRIT OF ',6

R. THEODORE F. SEWARD, the organizer and

secretary of "The Gulden Rule Society," lias
gone where we are taught the golden rule is
practiced. Mr. Seward gave his material life to the bet-
terment of mankind, and his many writings on this sub-
ject have been eagerly read, and in some instances prac-
ticed, but the Golden Rule Association, like our pat-
riotic associations, are too slow for the grasping greed
of the times, and those who waste their time trying for
the (betterment of others are generally worked to death
and; never appreciated, while the man who accumulates
a fortune by meanness and crookedness to others, can
with this capital, do more to gain the plaudits of the
crowd with a stroke of his pen than the other with his

life of denial and toil.

HEADSTONES FOR REVOLUTIONARY SOL-
JDIERS IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Sections 83 and 84 of Chapter 225, Taws of 1896,
which deal with the subject of burials by the State for
persons engaged in the military and naval service of the
United Slates do not appear to cover those persons en-
gaged i.i the War of the American Revolution and War
of 181 2.

Section 2 of Chapter 203 of the Laws of 1881, which
was1 repealed, seems, however, to have been revived and
amended by Chapter 411. of the Laws of 1898, and is as
follows :

Sec. 2. Any interment provided for by the provisions
of this act shall not be made in a cemetery, or in any
cemetery or plot used exclusively for the burial of the
pauper dead. The grave of any such deceased soldier,
sailor or marine, and the grave of any honorably dis-
charged soldier, sailor or marine who served in the army
or navy of the United States during the late rebellion,
who shall have been heretofore buried in any of the
counties of this State, but whose grave is not marked
by la suitable headstone, and who died without leaving
means to defray the expense of such headstone; and the
grave of any honorablv discharged soldier, sailor or

marine who served in the army or navy of the United
States during the revolutionary war, the war of eighteen
hundred and twelve, or war with Mexico, and who shall
have been heretofore buried in any of the counties oi
this State, but whose grave is not now marked by a
suitable headstone, shall be marked by a headstone con-
taining the name of the deceased, and if possible, the
at] ipiij.w ui .10 paJSuopq au_ ipupu 0} uoirBziurjJo.10
served; such headstone shall not cost more than fifteen
dollars, ami shall be of such design and material as shall
be approved by the board of supervisors, and the ex-
pense of such burial and headstone as above provided
tor shall be a. charge upon and shall be paid by the
county in which the said soldier, sailor or marine shall
have died; and the board of supervisors or other board
or officer vested with like powers, of the county of which
such deceased soldier, sailor or marine was a resident
at the time of his death, is hereby authorized and di-
rected to audit the account and pay the expenses of
such burial and headstone in the same manner in which
the accounts of such officer as shall be charged with the
performance of such duty as above provided shall be
audited and paid. — L. 1881, c. 203, Sec. 2, as am'd and
revived by L. 1898, c. 411.

This law- appears to be still in full force and would
seem to cover the situation.

WALTER SETH LOGAN.

September 3, 1902.

L. H. CORNISH, ESQ.,

239 Broadway, New York.
My Dear Cornish: — The enclosed seems to be all
there is that relates to the subject of gravestones for
revolutionary soldiers. It will be noticed that the money
is to be collected from the county where the soldier died,
not necessarily from the county in which he is buried,
and I suppose that some sort of record proof would have
to be made to identify the grave and to show the service
of the soldier. Yours verv truly,

WALTER S. LOGAN.

SEPTEMBER, 1902 SPIRIT OF '76.

SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

SARATOGA CHAPTER S. A. R.
From the Daily Saratogian.

The organization of Saratoga Chapter, Sons of the
American Revolution, was completed August 26, 1902.
at a meeting held in the rooms of the Business Men's
Association. The meeting was well attended both by
the local members of the Order, and members from
other cities, among the latter being Walter Seth Logan,
of Xew York, president of the Empire State Society:
Secretary Louis li. Cornish, of Xew York, and C. YV.
Shumway, of Xew York.

After some preliminary discussion the following offi-
cers and members of the governing board were chosen
to manage the affairs of the Saratoga Chapter:

President, Cassius B, Thomas; first vice-president,
Douglass \\ . Mabee ; second vice-president, Sylvester
E. Strong, M. D. ; secretary, Thomas R. Kneil ; treas-
urer, Ear! 11. Ring; register, Charles M. Davison; his-
torian, the Rev. E. J. Cook; chaplain, the Rev. William
Durant, D. D.

The following will constitute the board of managers:
The Hon. E. T. Brackett, II. B. Hanson, J. H. Caryl,
William dimming Story, Douglass W. Mabee, Jr., J. K.
Walbridge, D. O. Lolmas, Abram Yiele, C. F. Corn-
stock, George A. Farnham, \\r. S. Knowlson and Gen-
era] W. B. French.

PILGRIMAGE TO SARATOGA.

The pilgrimage of the Xew York Chapter S. A. R. to
this village in Sepetember was then taken up. Plans
for the entertainment of the visitors were made and the
programme for their three days' stay was informally laid
out.

The chapter will arrive here on Thursday night, Sep-
tember 18, and spend Friday morning in sightseeing,
and a trip to the Schm lerville monument. At 4 o'clock
in the afternoon an informal reception will be tendered
the visitors by the Saratoga Chapter, Daughters of the
American Revolution. In the evening at 7 o'clock a
banquet will be enjoyed at the United States Hotel. This
day will be the 127th anniversary of the battle at Bemis
Heights, and the toasts following the banquet will be
of a patriotic nature, and will have reference* to this de-
cisive battle of the Revolution. Among the speakers
will be General Logan. Senator Brackett." General W. B.
French and others.

EXCURSION TO BEMIS HEIGHTS.

On Saturday morning the chapter will make an ex-
cursion to the Bemis Heights battle ground, taking in
the many points of historic interest about the grounds.
On Sunday undoubtedly there will be religious' services
in the Convention Hall.

The Xew Yorkers are very enthusiastic over the trip,
and in addition have plans mapped out whereby the
expedition mav he an annual feature at Saratoga. If

there is enough interest tak

he local chapter, steps

will probably be taken to prevail on the State to pur-
chase the Freeman Farm, where the most serious fight-
ing took place and where historic points abound. In
the case of its purchase by the State the grounds would
be made into a large park where visitor- might come
and see for themselves the mightiest battle ground of
the Revolution, fn this case it would, without doubt,
be made the inecca annuailv of thousands of sightseers,
thus serving the double purpose of benefiting Saratoga
and fostering a spirit of patriotism.

WOULD PROLONG THE SEASON.

In connection with this Mr. Cornish said yesterday:
"As 1 understand it your season here used to close with
the first of September, but for the last live or six years
the Floral Fete festivities have prolonged it another
week. Now, there doesn't seem to be any possible rea-
son why it couldn't be extended a couple of weeks longer
bringing here the great patriotic societies every year.
The anniversary of the battle of Bemis Heights comes
at a most beautiful time in the year and thousands would
probably eagerly seize the opportunity to celebrate the
event and at the same time see the beauties of Saratoga.

''Our society numbers on its roll some of the greatest
and most influential men in the army and in public life.
They are men like Roosevelt, Hauna, Lodge, Depew,
and Dewey, who have influence and who would only be
too glad to use it in encouraging a plan like this. If
you take an interest in this plan I have no doubt what-
ever that we can have a great celebration here e\ ery
year, a celebration, like that we had at Stony Point, the
other day when 13.000 people w'ere present, and when
the Governor and the West Point cadets turned out to
help celebrate a great historical event."

THE PATRIOTIC SIDE.

Mr. Cornish aiso discussed the patriotic side of the
question and the need for something like this to en-
courage and foster a patriotic spirit. In connection
with this he told the story of the well at Freeman's farm,
where some of the hottest fighting of the struggle took
place. "Now," said Mr. Cornish, "I have a photograph
of the well, with a drove of hogs in the foreground. It
is a good example of patriotism in this present clay."

Governor Logan also spoke briefly on the Empire
State Society and its aims. He said he was glad to see
a local chapter of the order and would like to see Sara-
toga a patriotic as well as social center. In closing he
-aid the Xew York Chapters were delighted to come
up here and would come prepared to spend a most en-
joyable three days, an expectation which he knew would
not be disappointed.

bena Hyde Walworth, historian of our chapter, as a
volunteer nurse and who gave her young life to her
country. No soldier dying on the field of battle ever won
a brighter crown. She was buried October 22, 1898,
with military honors. Assisted by many other chapters,
we reared a beautiful monument to her memory in
Greenridge Cemetery, much 01 the preliminary work for
which being done b) our New York contingent, under
the leadership of Mrs. Jasper Cairns and Miss Anna M.
Jones.

The above gives an illustration of the activity of all
succeeding years.

We have assisted at many local services and entertain
merits in aid of local charities. Erected sign boards on
the road to the Saratoga Battlefield. Some of our mem-
bers contributed towards the portrait of Mrs. Benjamin
Harrison, our honored first president-general, which
now hangs in the White House. Have sent $50 to the
Continental Hall Fund and expect soon to send another
contribution : also $25 to the Army and Navy Relief So-
ciety. The McKinley Monument Fund has been re-
membered by us.

The Chapter has always been represented at the Con-
tinental Congresses and State Conferences.

To Mrs. Mary Harrison McKce we arc greatly in-
debted for many acts of loving kindness and assistance
in our chapter work.

Mrs. Julius H. Caryl, historian of the Washington
Heights Chapter of New York City, has been to us truly
a lady bountiful as well as a fairy godmother, throwing
open on several occasions her historic mansion, filled
with priceless art treasures, that we might replenish our
treasury for patriotic work.

June, 1901, the New York State Conference met with
us. We had the honor and pleasure of entertaining the
president-general, Mrs. Fairbanks, and many other dis-
tinguished guests from all parts of the State.

During the. past year we have maintained a room as
headquarters of the chapter, and at its opening recep-
tion each daughter donated a dainty china cup and sau-
cer for its social functions.

An interesting and artistic year book was prepared
and its programme fully carried out, giving instruction
as well as pleasure.

Our chapter is framed in oak grown on the battlefield
of Bemis Heights and has hanging by its side, amid our
many gifts an autograph letter of Benjamin Franklin,
presented by Miss Augusta P. Wiggins.

The membership of the chapter is 117.

THE BUSINESS MEN'S ASSOCIATION.

TH HE Business Men's Association of Saratoga
- Springs is truly a remarkable organization, its
guiding star always being the betterment of Saratoga
Springs.

Since its inception the organization has kept up a
steady advertising campaign, and by its exceeding liberal-
ity in expenditures, etc., to-day sees "The New Sara-
toga" more than ever "The Queen of Spas.'"'

It is needless to dilate upon the many natural ad-
vantages of Saratoga, with its abundance of health-giv-
ing mineral springs, its accessible location, practically in
the heart of a forest, affording an abundance of shade,
its beautiful lake and its parks. These, coupled with
the vast and attractive hotels, the world's famous race
track, the magnificent speedway, Convention Hall, etc.,
would suffice to put Saratoga in the front rank of Sum-
mer resorts.

But the Business Men's Association says this -is not
enough. "We want Saratoga not alone to be the equal,
but the superior of anything in America." Let us see
what they do towards carrying out their ideal.

First, they work hand-in-glove with the Village Trus-
tees and secure large appropriations for the beautifica-
tion of Saratoga. For example, $50,000 is appropriated
annually, simply for the care of its streets. Small won-
der that Saratoga's drives are unsurpassed.

For the amusement of its guests every year Saratoga
devotes a week, beginning with Labor Day, when the
reins of government are handed over to King Carnival,
and the village becomes entirely subservient to his man-
dates.

The annual floral parade is beyond description, and
certainly must be viewed to he appreciated. Nowhere
in the world can so great a display of Morally decorated
bicycles, automobiles, carriages and floats be seen as
moves through Saratoga's streets early in September.
Although the parade is ephemeral, lasting but two hours,
yet thousands of dollars are expended upon it. and the
beauty of the whole affair mure than repays the outlay.

Of all gorgeous spectacles, what can equal the Floral
Ball held in Convention 1 [all on Monday night of Carni-
val week? The hall is specially decorated with flowers
for the occasion and the disciples of terpsichore reign
supreme.

And so it goes on. Expensive descriptive pamphlets
are prepared by the Association and scattered broadcast.
A newspaper advertising campaign, costing hundreds of
dollars, is inaugurated. Various associations are in-
vited to hold their conventions in Saratoga, special
accommodations and inducements are offered them — all
this to popularize Saratoga. It certainly requires a
master mind tc plan and direct all this, and is found in
the person of the indefatigable President of the Associa-
tion. Where is the man, woman or child in Saratoga
who does not know Mr. C. B. Thomas. He has resided
in Saratoga for over thirty years, and every progressive
movement has found him in the front rank.

Mr. \Y. L. Thompson is the efficient Secretary and his
work in harmony with Mr. Thomas' has borne fruit.
Messrs. J. W. Lyman, Vice-President; W. H. Water-
bury, Treasurer, and T. R. Kniel, Corresponding Secre-
tarv, are more able co-workers; while the directors,
Messrs. M. G. Annis, I. M. Colcord, E. E. Durkee, W.
D. Eddy and H. G. Smith, are always on hand wdien
there is anything to be done for the benefit of Saratoga
Springs.

done away with. In addition to this mammoth hall, it
has oilier meeting places which will accommodate audi-
ences numbering anywhere from 40010 1,800. In each
of these buildings there are large committee rooms and
places for section meetings. The large hotels have halls
which are at the disposal of their guests for meeting
places.

In the matter of out-of-door sports Saratoga is not at
all behind the times. Its race track, under the present
management, oilers the horse lover the attraction of high
class sport. The track has been extensively changed
during this winter and to-day is fully equal to any metro-
politan track in every way. The purses offered by the
.Saratoga Association are attracting the best owners and
the best horses in America.

Just out of the village the Saratoga Golf Club has
constructed Goli Links which are beautifully kept and
pleasantly located. Just over in the west are the Lu-
zerne mountains, foothills of the Adirondack^ ; to the
south are the Catskills, while to the east is the wide
view to the Green mountains. The golf devotee could
not possibly find more attractive surroundings for his
pastime.

The lover of the trotting horse will find the newly con-
structed Speedway, reaching ou1 toward Saratoga Lake,
a splendid place for testing the speed and endurance of
his pets.

It would be impossible to place too much stress upon
the magnificent drives which Saratoga furnishes. The
village yearly expends .thousands of dollars in the im-
provement of its streets and their splendid road beds
call forth the hearty commendation of everyone.

In the way of bicycle paths the Saratoga Sidepath
Comission has constructed along all the highways of
the surrounding country ideal paths. These, supple-
mented by the streets, than winch no better cycle paths
can be found, give the devotee of the wheel all the facili-
ties for the sport that he need ask. The Geyser path;
the Lake path ; the path to Mt. McGregor are very fine.

Polo playing has lately made its appearance in Sara-
toga, and the Saratoga Polo Club is one of the most
progressive in the UnitechStates. It has purchased and
fitted tip a fine polo ground just west of the village, and
already the games played thereon have won national
reputation.

The largest concern having its home office in New-
burgh is the Central-Hudson Steamboat Company. Its
capital is $1,500,000, and its fleet consists of nine steam-
Baldwin/' "William F. Romer," "Jacob H. Trempcr,"
boats, the "Newburgh," "Homer Ramsdell," "James W.
"Milton Martin/' "Poughkeepsie," "Marlborough" and
"James T. Brett."

This company was organized in April, 1899, by Major
Wilbur 11. Weston and lion. Benjamin B. Udell, Jr. It
purchased ah the steamers and other property of the
Homer Ramsdell Transportation Company of New-
burgh, the Poughkeepsie Transportation Company of
Poughkeepsie and the Romer & Tremper Steamboat
Company of Rouhdout. Major Weston has been Presi-
dent and General Manager of the company from its or-
ganization, and Mr. Oclell was its Treasurer until he
became Governor of the Slate, January 1st, 1901, when
his father, Hon. Benjamin B. Oclell, was elected in his
place.

* The officers of the company are Wilbur II. Weston,
President; Albert B. Boardman, Vice-President; Benja-
min P. Odeli, Treasurer; Francis G. Kin-balk Secretary;
Samuel A. Cram, Assistant General Manager; James A.
Smith, General Freight Agent ; Everett E. Willis. Gen-
eral Passenger Agent; Charles II. Halstead, Auditor.

The directors of the company are Wilbur H. Weston,
Aibert B. Boardman, Benjamin B. Odell, John Murray
Mitchell, L. N. Littauer, Reuben L. Fox, Frank H. Piatt,
Nathaniel D. Lancaster, Prank S. Witherbee, C. W.
Hogan and Homer S. Ramsdell.

The Central-Hudson Steamboat Company does by far
the largest business of any of the transportation lines on
the Hudson River. Its landing place in New York is at
Pier 24, North River, foot of Franklin street, and its
steamers run from there to Highland Falls, West Point,
Co'd Spring. Cornwall, Newburgh, Fishkill, New Ham-
burgh, Marlborough, Milton, Poughkeepsie, Highland,
Esopus and Kingston.

^ It also owns the Newburgh, Albany and Troy Line.
The boats of this line make all landings between New-
burgh and Troy, thus practically covering the whole ter-
ritory between New York and the head of steamboat
navigation on. the Hudson. It has three steamers daily,
each way, between Newburgh and New York, one in the
morning and two in the evening. It has extensive docks
and warehouses in Newburgh extending 110m the foot of
Carpenter street south to the north line of the property
of the Erie Railroad Company, with track connection
with this road, as well as with the Electric Railway run-
ning to Orange Lake and Walden. Its facilities for

handling both freight and passengers are unsui passed.
Its steamers are equipped with all the modern conveni-
ences, and its business is constantly increasing in vol-
ume. Its powerful steel propellers are able to keep navi-
gation open between this city and New York during
nearly the entire year. During the winter of 1S99 and
1900 they missed but one trip on account of the ice,
while during the winter of 1900 and 1901 they discon-
tinued their trips for about four weeks.

To pleasure seekers and those in quest of health and
recreation, the boats of the Central-Hudson Steamboat
Co. offer many delightful excursions. Steamer "Romer"
or Steamer "Baldwin" leave New York at 4 p. m. An
enjoyable outing on a hot day is that afforded by taking
the Steamer "Tremper'' or "Martin'' at 7:3-0 a. m., and
meeting the down boat midway between Newburgh and
Albany, arriving in Newburgh at 6 p. m. Passengers
who desire t.o visit the beautiful new park at Kingston
Point can do so by debarking at Roundout and taking the
trolley to this poptdar resort.

Ouassaick Chapter of Newburgh, Daughters 01 the
American Revolution, has a membership of seventy- two.
The name of an old Indian one signifies the "shallow of
a rock." The chapter has placed as a part oi its year's
work, a huge boulder properly inscribed, on the site of
the Old Forge at Moodna. It was here that the famous
chain was put together which was stretched across the
Hudson to prevent the British warships from passing.
The blacksmith was Samuel Brewster, a descendant of
Elder Brewster of Plymouth, of whom Loncrfellow
speaks iii '■The Courtship of Miles Standish" as "The
hill that was nearest to heaven, covered with snow, but
erect, the excellent elder of Plymouth." On the occasion
of the unveiling a luncheon was served at the Palatine to
visiting Daughters, after which the Chapter and ruests
were driven to the Forge. Miss Adelaide Sked, trie
Regent, presented the tablet in a graceful speech to the
State Regent, Mrs. Samuel Verplanck, who, in accept-
ing it., referred to the many historic eyents which had
taken place in the vicinity. Following Mrs. Verplanck,
John Marshall Chew made a stirring patriotic speech,

■ ewbur

ri-

niter which the party were driven back to N<
over the historic stream, called Moordna, or Murderers'
Creel-', past the fields where was held the last canton-
ment of the Continental Army. During the present year,

as

formerly, Ouassaick Chapter awarded prizes to t!

m

school en ic.ren of Newburgh for the best essay on "My
Favorite Hero of the Revolution."

PATRK )TIC EDUCATION.

1M O greater service can be rendered to our country
than to p'ace object lessons of patriotism before the
youth of the Republic to imbibe them with a love of coun-
try and (he sentiment of patriotism.

It is peculiarly lil that the Son s of the .American Revo-
lution should, as they doubtless will, seriously consider
this matter. Being acquainted will] and in touch with
the Sculptors of Washington for schools, we shall
take pleasure in seeing orders for the bust faithfully at-
tended to and carried out, and the names of donors prop-
erly placed on every bust. This idea of placing the bust
of Washington in the public schools of the nation has
been heartily endorsed by ex-presidents and many illus-
trious citizens.

WHEN LINCOLN CAME TO GETTYSBURG.

A SILENT DISPATCH.
I.

The statesman walked the halls of state,

Our Lincoln, the Beloved ;
Afar the thunder clouds of fate

The Alleghaneys moved,
And mustering hosts of blue brigades

Were darkening earth and air.
He turned away from crystal halls

And bowed himself in prayer.
— Once over our flag stood still the sun.
Three nights were a day and three days were one,
That da)' was Gettysburg !

II.

He walked again the crystal halls,

As one from burden free,
And found a patriot there whose face

Was speechless agony.
He raised his hand : ''Hie field is ours,

The invader's arm is riven \"
"Whence comes the news?" the patriot asked.

"The message came from Heaven !"*
— Once over our flag stood still the sun,
Three nights were a day and three days were one,
That day was Gettysburg !
''The incident is practically true.

III.

He walks as one of God upheld ;

Earth's axle bends and sways,
On three times fifty thousand men,

Two hundred cannon blaze,
No soldier knows what night would bring,

To that unchartered field.
To him who sought Heaven's council hall

It was alone revealed.
—Once over our flag stood still the sun.
Three nights were a day and three days were one,
That day was Gettysburg!

IV.

When Pickett's men had cleft the fields

Hills leaped in horror dire,
And stood like men with lifted shields,

While the gray lava's fire
Sunk into ashes, thin and pale ;

Then swift the heroes formed
And all the wavering force assailed

That, bafiled, force had stormed.
— Once over our flag stood still the sun,
Three nights were a day and three days were one,
That day was Gettysburg !

V.
The meteor flag that flashed from Heaven,

Then lightened in the cloud,
And 'neath the skies thrice thunder riven,

The Alleghaneys bowed.
July the 3rd; the cloud wings reft

Revealed again the sun,
The skies of Liberty shone clear,

And those three days were one.
— Once over our flag stood still the sun,
Three nights were a day and three days were one,
That day was Gettysburg !

VI.

Lincoln? To consecrate the field

To Gettysburg he came,
And on that morn when earth stood still

In Heaven's arrested flame.
The blue brigades around him pressed,

As they had ever done,
And waited for the prophet's word,

Ten thousand men as one.
— Once over our flag stood still the sun,
Three nights were a day and three days were one,
That day was Gettysburg !

VII.

Care worn he bent on them his face,

The centuries were there;
Twas thinner than that hour when Heaven

Its message sent through prayer.
He spake : "The dead have given this spot

The glory that is clue,
And this grand land shall perish not

Comrades, to them are true."
— Once over our flag stood still the sun,
Three nights were a day and three days were one,
Thai day was Gettysburg!

VIII.

O Gettysburg! O Gettysburg!

O day of days sublime,
That made new destinies for men,

And set the clock of time.
So spake the man who summoned Heaven

His heroes to unfold,
And saw the hosts invisible

Like the young king of old.
■ — Once over our ilag stood still the sun,
Three nights were a day and three days were one,
That day was Gettysburg !

IX.

Helpers invisible there are

That prophet souls may know,
O'er them night's silver irises

Of appreciation glow.
The earth revolves in spirit zones,

And circles spirit spheres,
And oft life's choral overtones

The unchafed spirit hears!
Ho, comrades ho; the pledge renew
To our dead heroes to be true.

As erst, at Gettysburg!

— Hezekiah Butter-worth.

Si if of W.vn h Battery, Saratoga Battlefield,
on Banks of Hudson River.

THE SARATOGA PILGRIMAGE.

The pilgrimage to Saratoga Springs to celebrate the
anniversary of the Battle of Saratoga, while not attended
by a numerous throng, was a success in one way; it was
that of interesting the people of Saratoga in securing for
themselves and their posterity, a pan of the Saratoga
battlefield.

A hill is being drawn by the American Scenic and His-
toric Preservation Society, that will be presented to the
State Legislature by Senator Brackett, and will have the
support and signatures of 200 business men of Saratoga
Springs.

The ceremonies at Saratoga consisted of a reception
given by the Saratoga Chapter, D. A. R., of which Mrs.
J. Mingay is regent. The large parlor of the United
States Hotel was beautifully decorated by American flags
and was attended by the ladies of Saratoga. Addresses
were made by President Walter Seth Logan, Mrs. J.
Minsray, Mrs. Walworth, and Mrs. Terry, le^ent of the
Fort Green Chapter of Brooklyn. A feature of the re-
ception was the singing of the State Hymn "Victory."
The music of the hymn was written by Anna S. Henry ot
Saratoga, and is dedicated to Reubena Hyde Walworth,
who died as a result of her work' as a nurse in the Span-
ish-American War.

The banquet tendered to the Empire State Society S.
A. IN, and other visiting compatriots and Saratoga Chap-
ter, U. A. R., by the local Sons, at the United States
Hotel was characterized by the spirit of patriotism which
fairlv surcharged the air. \\ hat the gathering lacked in
quantity, from a numerical view point, was made up in
quality.

Prior to the feast of reason the Sons and Daughters
held an impromptu reception in the parlor of the hotel.
I he room was decorated with American flags in honor of
the occasion. There was a spirit ol informalit\ in the
gathering which was very sug

hollowing the banquet which was of a most sumptuous
and delectable nature, President Logan, who rightly oc-
cupied the post of honor as toastmaster, claimed the at-
tention of the diners and announced that the '"sad ami
solemn hour" had arrived when all must paj the penalty,
by being obliged to listen to the How of eloquence which
was to follow." President Logan, who is an entertaining
and forceful .speaker, then addressed the assemblage at
some length. He said in part:

*A\c are here in Saratoga to-day 10 celebrate the battle
which, more than any other, won the independence of the
United Slates. The battle which Crecy has describe.!
as one of the fifteen decisive battles of the world. It was.
It demonstrated to the world that the embattled farmer
could not be trilled with. There was no telegraph in those
days to disseminate the news of the battle. The onl) way
was by messeng'er and they went North. Fast, South and
West carrying the tidings that Burgoyne had surren-
dered. Other battles followed. There were some vic-
tories, but more defeats. Then followed the winter of
Valley Forge, the campaign of Gen. Greene and the bat-
tle of Vorktown. Then come the news up the Hudson
by messenger to the few patriots left in Saratoga that the
tree which was planted at Bemis Heights, had borne fre.it
in Virginia.

After making a brief reference to pilgrimages made to
various historic spots by the Empire Society, President
Logan introduced Mrs. Ellen Hardin Walworth, as the
first speaker of the evening.

Mrs. Walworth, who has long advocated the purchase
of the battle field at J'.emis Heights by the State, to b-'
converted into a public park, spoke briefly, hue enthus-
iastically of the growing patriotic sentiment throughout
the country, which she said was not a false sentiment.
"It inspires us. We of the Sons and Daughters of the
American Revolution, must realize the influence which
we can demonstrate. Remember we have a historic, and
human interest that will serve to arouse this village set
upon the foothills of the Adirondack's."

Mrs. Terry, one of the most enthusiastic members of
the Fort Green Chapter, 1). A. IN, of Brooklyn, followed
and gave a brief history of the work done by the chapter
securing funds for the erection of a monument on Fort
Green to the memory of the prisonship martyrs.

Mrs. James Mingav, regent of Saratoga Chapter D. A.
IN, was introduced in a very flattering manner by the
toastmaster to which introduction she bricllv responded.

Other speaker.-- were R. O. Bascom of Fort Edward;
Mrs. Philip S. Wakck-y, the Kev. William Durant, D.D.,
('. W. Wood of Syracuse; Capt. A. A. Folsom, Senator

numbei of prominent men throughout the country ex-
pressing regret thai they were unable to be here at this
time. Among these was the following from Governor
Odell :

"September 17, 1902.
"Mr. Thomas R. Kneil, Secretary, Saratoga Springs,

N. Y.

"My Dear Sir: — Governor Odell desires me to ac-
knowledge receipt of your favor of the nth inst., invit-
ing him on behalf of the local chapter Sons of the Ameri-
can Revolution, and of the Business Men's Association ol
Saratoga Springs, to attend a banquet to be given at the
United States Hotel on September 19th. The Governor
will be in Gettysburg, Pa., on that day, leaving here to-
morrow. He desires me to express his regret that he is
unable to accept the invitation, and to assure you of his
appreciation of your courtesy. Very truly yours,

"Jas. G. Graham,
Secretary to the Governor."

Others who expressed regret were President Roose-
velt, David J. Hill of Nantucket, Mass.; Secretary of
State Putnam Phalanx, 'of Boston; E. S. Douglass, West
Point; J. Whitehead, New York; Horace White, Syra-
cuse ; Henry Cabot Lodge, Francis E. Brown, Wallace
D. McLean, George Dewey, Chauncey M. Depew, Rear
Admiral Winfield S. Schley, and Elihu Root, Secretary
of War.

At 11 130 o'clock the Sons and Daughters adjourned to
meet on September 19, 1903.

The following day five coach loads visited the battle-
field, and dined at the Tavern at Bemis Heights, an all-
day outing which was delightful to all those who partici-
pated.

Sunday a union meeting was held at the First Presby-
terian Church.

The congregations of the Second Presbyterian, the
First and Second Baptist, and the New England Congre-
gational Churches united with the First Presbyterian on
Sunday evening in a patriotic service. The pulpit was
occupied by the Revs. T. F. Chambers, E. T. Hiscox, H.
M. Gesner, William Durant, and C. W. King. The
speakers of the evening were Walter S. Logan, President
of the Empire State Society, S. A. R., and Louis H. Cor-
nish, secretary of the society.

In introducing Mr. Logan, who spoke on the "Present
Issue," Dr. Durant referred to the hardships endured in
securing our independence, and in laying the basis of our
present prosperity. He said that it was particularly ap-
propriate to hold a patriotic service on a day which was
so near the anniversary of the two great battles which
have been the turning points in our history, the battles of
Saratoga and Gettysburg.

Mr. Logan said in part: "Dr. Durant has well asso-
ciated the battles of Saratoga and Gettysburg, the anni-
versaries of which occur at this time, and they are the
outcome of the two greatest documents in American his-
tory, the Declaration of Independence and the Emancipa-
tion Proclamation. It is right for us to gather in patriotic
meeting in the shadow of the pulpit for the preacher, ana
the statesman and the warrior throughout our history
have always had close connection. The thing of which I
am most proud in connection with my ancestrv is my
descent from Thomas Hooker, the fighting prencTier, who
led his congregation through unbroken forests and who
carried his Bible in one hand and his gun in the other.
who fought six days of the week and preached on the
seventh, but who was no worse a preacher because lie was
so good a fighter. And the principles of the Declaration
of Independence of Thomas Jefferson's time were the
principles of these sturdy people.

"On land between here and the majestic Hudson was
fought a battle which is called one of the fiffean decisive
battles of the world. It was indeed the decisive battle ol
our war of Independence. Burgoyne's expedition had tor
its object die separation of the colonies of lh.* North ana
South and the battle of Saratoga enabled the American
colonies to light t< gether as they have, widi one excep-
tion, ever since.

"The victory of Saratoga did mere than that. It
showed to the onlooking world that there were men here-
in these western woodlands entirely capable of defen ling
themselves. It showed that a new nation had been born
and that the sooner they recognized it the better. Noth-
ing could keep Lafayette back when the struggle for
liberty was going on, but the battle of Saratoga was the
direct cause of the coming of Rochambeau.

"There was one particular of the battle of Saratoga
which is worthy of note. The two great battles of Amer-
ica which were decisive to our national history are the
battles of Saratoga and San Juan, and both were fought
comparatively without commanders. It was the assem-
bled forces of the nation that won both victories. At
Schuylerville, a brilliant dash, was 'made by one who
afterwards proved himself a contemptible traitor, but the
battle was won by the soldiers. At San Juan there was a
commander somewhere, but he was not at hand when the
great charge was made. The soldiers went up the c^an
Juan hill because it was less dangerous to go up tlian to
go back. They were under fire from "all sides. The na-
tion has its great men, but in a crisis, the great men are
sometimes lacking and the fate of the country depends on
the common soldier.

"The war went on and it would be difficult to say which
contributed the most to American independence, the sum-
mer at Saratoga or the winter at Valley Forge under
Washington and Steuben. The hearts of the people some-
times failed them, but there was one in the nation whose
spirit never sank and in the darkest hours of our history.
Washington was calm. Through, to victory, Washington
led the soldiers: from the defeat of Port Washington to
the victories of Princeton and Trenton. The genius of
this great commander will compare favorably with the
genius of any other great military commander. The vic-
tory of Yorktown was spread abroad and the news
crossed the ocean that those who came to conquer had
been conquered.

"The nation Washington saved at Yorktown was a
little strip of territory along the Atlantic, but the nation
now extends over the whole country and its flag is re-
spected wherever it goes. The nation whose strength lies
in its soldiers has the destiny of the world in its hands.

"No two people hold the same idea as to the meaning
of the word liberty. To the early Latins tiie word meant
personal security, but the English have never had great
need of jails. To them the idea of liberty is simply the
right of every man to earn his share of the good tilings of
the world and spend his earnings. It was this concep-
tion of the word that made our forefathers rebel against
the unjust taxation, made them rebel against rulers who
taxed them without their consent. It was tin same spirit
that governed til' Saxon people throughout history.

English of the time', and George Washington on this list J
f the ocean was not more gratified with the result
lan was Charles Fox. The victory of Sara-
nt therefore that English speaking men should
have tin power to levy their own taxes.

"The question of taxation is not entirely
vet. The larger cities complain that the smaller cities or
towns tax them and the state complains that a population
of 40,000 has the same power that I he Empire State lias.
These things will he corrected in time, and the fact re-
mains that English speaking people throughout the world
hove the right to levy their own taxes, and will not pay
taxes which they do not levy.

"The question jf taxation is not the only one. The
Saxon idea of liherty is not simply the right to pay taxes
of their own levying but the right to earn for ourselves
the good thing- of the world. The great question before
the American people to-day is the question of trusts. The
right to earn the good things of the world has been mad*?
effective only through competition, and corn-petition rules
the world of industry. The struggle now is to give back

He speaks of great Combines. It is the monopoly winch
is the evil and which is destroying human liberty because
it does not consider the right of competition. Now the
steel trust controls every bit of steel and a man who has
worked in the steel trade all his life, cannot get work now
unless the trust choose to employ him. And the trusts
are in everything. I agree with President Roosevelt that
this is the most important issue.

"It is not necessarv to change the constitution of the
United States, as is President Roosevelt's opinion, which
would take years to do, but in my mind, the clause relat-
ing to the commerce between states contains the remedy
for the evil. While I disagree with President Roosevelt
politically and in his opinion, I have great faith in the
man. I believe in his entire integrity of purpose and en-
deavor. Mv purpose is simply to urge upon you the
necessity for action at this time. The force of arms is not
necessary, but the stronger weapons of pen. tongue, rea-
son and argument. As much responsibility lies with the
women in the home as with the men at the ballot box.

"The time will conic when the good things of the world
will be more evenlv distributed. Viewing from the pal-
aces, somethimr will be taken away, but the majority oi
the people will be better in everv way. The victory oyer
trust will be as decisive as the victory at Pemis Heights.

REMARKS PY P. IT. CORNISH.

"An orthodox, when he gets religion sees the wicked-
ness in others and undertakes to reform him. A stranger,
when he visits a new pPce. sees ils defects and tries to
remedy them. In New York Harbor iherc stands one of
the seven wonders of the world — the Statue of Libertv. T
have Jived ihere 2; years, and would probably never have
visited the spot, had it not been for the visit of a countr\
friend who called mv attention to it.

"In New York Cite stands the Tumel Mansion, or
Washington's headnunrters, which member?: of the Em-
nire State Soeietv,,S. V P.. have been trving to have 'die
Stnte purchase as a public park, that the old house
which was built in r:~Q en be visited bv the public.
After numerous meetings before the P.o^rd of Public Im-
provement, and rommnn council and alderman who votfd
in favor of it, it was presented to Mnvor VanWvck for
his endorsement, but he was out of office before he could
legally sign the bill. A call was made upon Mayor Seth

Row for his endorsement, and lie said that he would take
it before the Board of Estimate and have it acted upon
amiarv. In July I called upon the Mayor, and asked

1 what had been done about the matter. He appar-
ently had forgotten all about it, and asked this question,
"Where is this Washington's headquarters, in Manhat-
tan or in the Bronx?" This, from the President of a col-
lege whr.se site is within view of the historical spot was
naturally .startling, but this ignorance to things cf a pa-
triotic nature is universal ; a patriot may give his entire
life trying to accomplish something that a millionaire
could do with the stroke of his pen. There are a few
cranks in the world who should he occasionally given en-
couragement, and there arc a few people who are willing
to do so.

"Saratoga is famous for many tilings, some of which
it is best not to dwell upon, but Saratoga can be made
famous for something which it contains, but which has
not received proper attention, and that is its battlefield.
Crccv, the famous historian, says of the Battle of Sara-
toga, that it is one of the fifteen decisive battles of the
world. I visited this field yesterday with a company of
about twenty-five interested people, among whom was
Captain A. Folsorn, of the Ancient and Honorable Artil-
lery Company of Boston, Mass., a man noted for his re-
search into Revolutionary history. When he saw the
magnificent valley spread out before him, he said it was a
shame that the whole battlefield from the Schuylerville
Monument to Bemis Heights, including the tavern, should
not be preserved by the State as a Public Park. We don't
ask the State to preserve this whole spot or tract, but we
do want to interest the State in preserving Freeman's
Farms. This ground was where the advance of the Brit-
ish was checked; this ground was where the most of our
patriot's blood was shed ; this ground contains the re-
mains of many dead to this date, and should be held as
sacred ground. This ground overlooking a knoll where
so much blood was shed was yesterday the site of a hog-
sty, and seventeen hogs were desecrating and polluting a
spot that should be held in reverence by all good Ameri-
cans.

"We are trying to form here in Saratoga a Chapter oi
the Sons of the American Revolution to work in conjunc-
tion with the Daughters of the American Revolution, who
always have and always will do the work.

Society for the preservation of Scenic and Historic places,
and they are equipped to carry such an appeal through
successfully. Mr. C. B. Thomas, of the Business Men's
Association of Saratoga, lias had an assurance that Mr.
Brackett would present any bill you may draw up to the
coming session of the Legislature. If 'our visits should
have accomplished this, they should not have been in vain.
The Saratoga Monument Association have marked the
spot and made it easy to study, but they haven't gone far
enough, and it remains for the Daughters of the Ameri-
can Revolution of Saratoga, assisted by a chapter of the
Sons, to accomplish this good work.

"What our Society wants is 100,000 members instead ot
10,000. Tf we had the larger number we wouldn't have to
beg of the politicians as favors what really are duties they
should perform. What the politician wants is votes; 100,-
000 would be of value to them, where 10.000 don't count
much.

"I met on the steps of the United States Hotel to-day a
leading politician : he was here to attend the convention.
He told me a vear ago that his only reason for joining the
Society was for the fact that he was in politics and
wanted it recorded somewhere that he was an American
and not a foreigner, lie had never attended any of our
meetings or taken any interest in our Society, but his
annua! dues are of value to us in carrying em the work.
Another stranger F met. wore our button and whom I ad-
dressed bv asking him from what State he came, and he
replied, California. T asked him whether it was patriot-
ism or politics that brought him here, and he replied that
it was politics. It is politics and not patriotism that most
men strive for and there' is something tangible in that,
whereas, there: isn't much sjlory in the other. Speaker
Henderson, of the' House of Representatives, has he'd up
a bill that has been introduced to prevent the desecration
of the flag; his excuse being that an 'over-zealous mem-
ber belonging to the Society, had said something <o him
that he didn't like. Speaker Henderson L now out of the
way, and we will no doubt have the flag protected from
desecration bv the new-comer to office.

"We h ivc in our Society the most prominent people of
the Union, hut these prominent people don't interest
themselves in (he Socielv's works. Thev have other things
to think of, and it remains for a few to make known that
there K such a Sociefv in existence. We are formed for

the purpose r.f preserving historical spots, of inculcating
patriotism for the respect of our government and our
constitution. We are- a Society thai should he strong in
membership, ami ii mould lie appreciated by the people.
When our Society was first organized we allowed women
as members. 1 he Sons of the Revolution called us the
Hen-society, and we didn't have backbone enough to
stand this ridicule; we were compelled to disfranchise the
Daughters with a result that to-day we have 12,000 mem-
bers, while they have 40,00.0, and are heard from; they
have worked and accomplished much, k" our Sons had
the time to enthuse as they have- done, we would he a
powerful factor in the land."

At a Special Meeting of the Board 0! Management held
on September 26th, 1902, the following resolution was
adopted :

"Resolved: Th.it a Special Meeting of the Society be-
held at the Park Hill Club House, Yonkers, N. Y.~, at
7 o'clock P. M. on October 28, 1902, in commemoration of
the battle of White Plains."

It was also resolved that the Regular Meeting of the So-
ciety, be held at 8 P. M., at the Headquarters on October
2 1 st, 1902, and the Board of Management recommends that
no Bussiness be transacted at that time, but that die Meet-
ing be adjourned to the same place and time as the Special

Reginald Jenkins, Kiitery, who submitted 1652, to
the jurisdict. of Mass., removed to Dover; there, by wife

Robert, of Dover, 1657, called Junkins, prob. the same
named Jenkins, at York, 1674. where he took the oath of
alleg., 1681, to the King.

John Jenner, Dorchester, perhaps soon went to Strat-
ford, where he might be 1650, or of Brookhaven in L. I.,

Thomas Jenner, Roxbury, about 1634 or 5, removed

and in 165 1 was in Norf'k, so poor as to sell his library.
Another Genner was of Weymouth, at the same time

since in 1683, only two men of that town are found sworn,
and only three others in 1690, among several hundreds
from other towns who took that privilege, 1692. He
was of the artillery comp, 1673, a capt., and prob. that
master of the ship from Lend',; to Boston, 16S5, with
whom came Honest John Dunton, who calls him a man
with "some smatterings oi divinity in his head;" and

BATTLE OF BLOODY RUN

Out Jefferson avenue, in the block between Adair and Leib
streets, a beautiful bronze tablet was unveiled in commemora-
tion of the battle of Bloody Run, which took place 011 that spot
July 1, 139 years ago. The dedication was attended by con-
siderable delegations from the Society of Colonial Wars and the
Sons of the American Revolution. Among the speakers were
Director A. II. Griffith, of the Detroit Museum of Art, who con-
trasted the wilderness existing at the time of the memorable
battle with the present bustling city.

"For many years previous to the fight," he said, "the country
had been under the regime of the French. All this was changed
in 1760, when England came into possession. The Indians be-
came dissatisfied with English rule and Chief Pontiac organized
a conspiracy to massacre the red-coats. His plans were dis-
covered and defeated, and the British conceived the idea of
striking a blow that the Indians would never forget. It was
decided to send 250 men against them, and on the morning of
July 30 the soldiers started. On the spot beneath the location of
the tablet the soldiers were ambuscaded. The men were com-
pelled to retreat over the bodies of their fallen comrades. Rein-
forcements came by way of river barges, but the enemy kept up
a terrible fight, and eventually the battle was lost to the whites.
During the retreat Capt. Dalyell, in an attempt to rescue a fallen
comrade, lost his life.

A poem written by Edwin M. Gran, many years ago, speaks
Pathetically of this terrible battle. It was lead at this after-
noons exercises. In part it was as follows:

*****

But there came a noiseless band

I ike a misty column
Moving over the sleeping sand
Where yon river bathes the strand,

Silent, slow and solemn.
*****

Fiercely fighting, side by side,

Deadly lines were closing!
Friend and foeman as they died
Fell within thy crimsoned tide;

All in death reposing!

Morning o'er yon silver flood

Bursting forth in glory.
Shuddered at the stench of blood
Rising on the steaming cloud

From thy current gory!

*****

Murmur on thou sparkling rili

Peace is smiling round thee!
In the valley on the hill,
Peaceful scenes tin landscape fill —

THE OLD HALL OF RECORDS. (PROVOST JAIL.)

How many of the thousands daily passing the City Hall
know, or think, or care, that Col. Ethan Alien, the hero of
Ticonderoga, was a prisoner in the Provost Jail, now the
Hall of Records?

A few months after his capture of Fort Ticonderoga, he
was sent into Canada, and taken prisoner, September 14th,
1775. in a battle near Montreal. Lossing says:

"He had crossed the St. Lawrence at night with no men.
It was a rough, windy night, and so few were the canoes that
they had to cross three times. The Americans crossed
safely, but were discovered, and Allen would have retreated
if his boats could have carried all over at ence.

After a battle of an hour and three-quarters, Allen sur-
rendered, was marched to Montreal, and delivered into the
custody of the brutal General Prescott.

"On learning that Allen was the man who had captured
Ticonderoga, Prescott was greatly enraged, threatened him
with a halter, and ordered him to be bound hand and foot
in irons, and placed on board the Gaspee. war schooner,
where neither seat nor bed was allowed him. He remained
five weeks in irons on board the Gaspee at Montreal, and
was sent to England to be tried for treason.

He was sent to Halifax in the spring of 1776, confined
in jail there until autumn, and then sent to New York.
There he was kept about a year and a half. From August,
1777. to May, 1778, he was a prisoner in the Provost Jail
until he was exchanged for Col. Campbell, and returned to
his fireside in Vermont."

What a picture! The return of the wasted patriot "to
his fireside." The narrative simply states, "he never after-
ward actively engaged in military service, and died in eleven
years."

History has recorded the horrors of that Provost Jail.
"The upper chamber, called in derision Congress Hall, where
the highest officials in 'captivity were so closely crowded to-
gether, that when, at night, they laid down to sleep upon
the hard .plank floor, they could change position only by all
turning over at once, at the words right — left.

The main entrance to the prison was on the south. It
had two lobbies, with strong barricades between the ex-
ternal and internal ones. A grated floor was at the bottom
of the stair.-- leading to the second and third floors On the
right of the entrance was the room occupied by Cunningham,
and opposite was that of Sergeant O'Keefe, his deputy in
office and crueltv. On the day of the British evacuation, as
tin- Americans were moving down Chatham to pear street.
O'Keefe 'brew down his keys on the floor behind him and
departed."

From what we know of Ethan Allen we may be sure

arc reminded of Hampden, the patriot dear lo Englishmen,
who was imprisoned for protesting against tlie "Forced
Loan" of Stuart tyranny. To clo.se an imprisonment rc-
vvarded his protest "that lie never afterwards eln! look like
the same man he was before."

The ruins of Fori Ticoiuleroga have been marked, re-
cently, by a tablet.

And what of the Provost Jail where patriots suffered in
silence and neglect? Let them be neglected no longer! No
commercial estimate can be placed upon the value of the
spot where they suffered Let it speak of theii patriotism
to future generations because oui country needs patriots.

A public hearing took place October 3d, at the City
Hall, on the preservation of the Old Hal! of Records, the
Provost Jail. Returning from there, 1 saw a little messen-
ger boy, with 1ms parcel under his arm. step and read the
inscription upon the tablet marking the spot where the
Declaration of Independence was given to the American
Army in the presence of Washington. May the Old Mall of

beautiful Auditorium connected with the building. Before
the guests departed refreshments were served in the Li-
brary, and Reading Room. The bouse was decorated with
brilliant autumn flowers, choice blossoms being presented

WHO ARE TO BE THE PATRIOTS OF THE FU-
TURE?

The lime is not far distant when all men and women who
hold rcsponsil !e official positions in national, state or muni-
cipal departments will have joined the great majority on the
other side of life. Who are to fill the places made vacant
by death? It is a very important question!

For more than a hundred years we preserved the inher-
itance bequeathed to us by the Patriots of the Revolution.
Will those who are to come after us be able to do the same
for another century? It is doubtful.

A good education, including a Patriotic Education for
our children, is indispensable — the boy and girl Patriot of
the present will be the man and woman patriots of the fu-
ture. A Patriotic Education should be given to every Ameri-
can child, without reference to sex, age. color, sect, or place
of birth. They should be taught to revere, the memory of
Washington and his compatriots. They should be warned
acrainst all organizations that are inimical to American in-
stitutions. 1 bey should be taught that the laws and consti-
tution of the United States are to them paramount to every
other power, organization. King, Prince. Potentate or Politi-
cal Rules on eai th.

A Patriotic Education would, more than anything else,
tend to ^ develop Honest Office-holders and likewise Invin-
cible Soldiers. There i= no better [dace to begin this patriotic
education than in those great Democratic-Republican Insti-
tutions—our Public School;, and it would be difficult to find
a more appropriate Obicct Lesson than the Colossal Rust of
G e or ge Wa sh in gt on.

MacDonahrs Rust of Washington is composed of plaster
and cement — indestructible — and will last for aces. The
Bust.and the bracket (upon which the Lust stands), occu-
pies just six feet in height on any wall. It is proposed to
place these Busts in every Public School House in the United
States, beginning with New York, Boston. Philadelphia and
Chicago.

Patriotic citizens will be requested to procure and pre-
sent these Busts to Public Schools in the various cities and
towns. The names of the donors will be placed in imperish-
able letters on every Bust, and will be seen and read by-
millions of American boys and girls for centuries to come.

Patriotic,-- |5 the panacea for all political disorders. It
v.-ill cement the Union; perpetuate the Republic, and pre-
serve the Laws, and the principles of Declaration of Inde-
pendence.

LETTER TO SENATOR 1 1 ANNA.

New York, May 6, jqo?
Hon. M. A. Hanna, United States Senate. Washington, D. C:

My Dear Senator — I had the pleasure of renewing my ac-
quaintance with you at the banquet of the Sons of the Amer-
ican Revolution on Friday evening last I was obliged to leave
before you favored us with your address. This was a source of
regret to me, but I was obliged to arrange my baggage and
get to the train.

I have, however, read in the newspapers the remarks which
you made, and it is especially gratifying to me to note that you
spoke on the lines of instilling some practical ideas into the
work of our organization. Our society is composed of about
13,000 men in all the States of the Union, who, to a very large
extent, are representative men in their various localities, and,
it. seems to me, that we are a power for good in this country.

I helped to formulate and to support the resolution which
was passed on Friday to give our society a basis for practical
work, in instilling the ideas of patriotism and in educating the
new-comers in this country in the principles of our form of
government. Just how this is to be done or what function we
can perform in the matter has not been definitely decided upon,
as the matter is now in the hands of a committee.

I had the honor of being elected secretary-genera! of the
national organization, and I assume the duties of this office
with the understanding that we are to do some practical work
during the coming year. As in your address you were kind
enough to express sympathy in this movement, I take the lib-
erty of suggesting to you that we would be glad to receive any
advice from you in this matter, and if at any time you can see
any practical work that the society can do or can make any
suggestions as to a line upon which we could work, I would
esteem it a great favor if you would advise me.

Extending to you my sincere regard. I remain,

Yours very sincerely,

Charles Waldo Haskins.

"During the stormy times of the Huguenot Wars, Marin

sunny land of his ancestors to found a branch of his noble
house in sunny Maryland. He came much as if he had been
torn as a limb from the ancestral tree — the noble Maison
Du Val — whose foundations were laid a thousand years ago
in Norman-French soil. Land was patented to him in 1650,
to which he applied the name of his alien, Castellated Manor
— La Val or Du Val. Sincerely yours,

New York, May 23, 1900.
Mr. Louis II . Cornish,
Dear Sir: —

At the regular meeting of the Society of Mayflower Descendants,
held at Delmonico's last evening, it was "RESOLVED that the th;.nks
of the members be extended to Mr. Louis II. Cornish, for the interest-
ing IHustrated lecture with which he had entertained tnem."
Yours respectfully,

Jeremiah Richards, Secretary.

Louis II. Cornish of New York, Editor of "'The Spirit of '76"
lectuied twice in Unity Hall, yesterday, afternoon and even ng on
"Colonial Life among the Puritans" under the auspices of the Ruth
Wylly's Chapter, D. A. K. The lecluie was illustrated with lantern
slides, which were especially good. A quaint idea which took very w ell
was that, several times, when a view of an old church was shown,
the operator of the stereopticon changed the light so as to cast a shadow
on the white church, and then the phonograph behind the scenes pro-
duced the singing of the congregation accompanied by an organ. It
was very realastic.

Mr. Cornish was introduced by Principal Gordy who said that the
citizens of Hartford ought to be very proud of their Cuy. lie thanked
the Ruth Wylly's Chapter for beautifying the old cemetary, and also for
the bringing to Hartford of such an interesting speaker as Mr. Cornish.

PEGGY STEWART DAY.

*eggy Stewart Day," so named in commemoration of
the burning of the tea ship Peggy Stewart in the harbor
of Annapolis on Octobet 19, 1774, was celebrated at the
Carrollton Hotel by a meeting and banquet held by the
Maryland Society, Sons of the American Revolution. The
anniversary was held Saturday night on account of Octo-
ber 19 falling on Sunday this' year.

As previously noticed, a convention held at Annapolis
on July 22, 1774, had resolved to cease trading with Eng-
land and her West Indian colonies in order to emphasize
resistance to the Stamp Act, winch had caused great in-
dignation not only in Maryland, but throughout the thir-
teen colonies. The Peggy Stewart, which' was owned by
Alexander Stewart, arrived at Annapolis on October 15,
1774. having on board, with other merchandise, 17
chests of tea consigned to Thomas Charles Williams
& Co., of Annapolis. The discovery of the con-
signment of tea caused the greatest" excitement in
Annapolis and vicinity, and a general meeting of
citizens was called to take action.'" Mr. Stewart" and
the Williams Brothers, the importers, offered to take the
tea from the vessel and bum it . but this did not

There were many distinguished men present, and the

Revolution.

lighted to meet so many of

that all be seated. He said that be was dc-
lis friends and regretted that
he vva-s compelled to leave.

"f have just left," said the Cardinal, "another ball
where i made an address. I have passed from the hall of
prayer to the festivities of patriotism.

"Religion and patriotism are the two greatest words in
our language. Love of God and love of our country.
Everyunc should be proud of this country, and no Ameri-
can should be ashamed of it. It is wall for you gentle-
men to revive the memories of the past, to recall the hero-
ism of the fathers of our country, to emulate their ex-
ample and transmit to the generations to come a heritage
of heroism.

"I believe there is no country on earth like America.
(Applause.) I frequently go to Europe, and have, I
think, crossed the ocean fourteen times, but always I am
glad to turn my face homeward. Here we have solved the
great religious problem. Here we hare recognized liberty
without 'license, authority without despotism.

"In your president, Mr. Warfield, your society should
indeed be happy. He represents the past by the virtues
of his ancestors ; the present by his own civic virtues and
commercial wealth, and the future— well, he has a future
before him." (Great Applause.)

An elaborate menu was served, during which an or-
chestra played patriotic and popular airs and a quartet of
singers rendered several selections. President Edwin
Warfield presided and was given an enthusiastic wel-
come. His name was cheered when his unanimous elec-
tion as president was announced, and the first toast was
drunk to his health.

Dr. C. C. Bombaugh gracefullv responded fo the toast,
andjadies as well as men cheered Mr. Warfield as he rose.'
Mr. Warfield made a short but forceful speech. Lie
thanked the members of the societv from the bottom of his
heart for the honor done him. He declared the society
was not one for mutual admiration onlv. but was doin^ a
noble work. Lie particularly spoke of the work done'by
the_Marvland society and credited Mavor Haves with
having done much to aid in the erection of the monument
to Maryland heroes of the Revolution on Mount Roval
Plaza as well as having fathered the societv bill in the
Legislature.

President Warfield read letters of regret from Presi-
dent Roosevelt. Admiral Dewev and Governor Smith

In introducing: General Lee Mr. Warfield lauded his
record as a cavalry leader.and he was warmlv welcomed.
General Lee expressed bis pleasure at being'present and
told several interesting stories about himself.

One of these made a b\c hit. R was of an old farmer
who when first told of Lee's surrender did not believe it

and said: "I know bow it is. It's that fellow Eitz

Lee. the old General never surrendered " General I ee

His address was replete with wit and eloquence and arous-
ed great enthusiasm. He said he voiced the sentiment of

General Lee urged that the Sons and Daughters of the
American Revolution build an avenue between Monticello
and tlie L mversilv of Virginia in memorv of Thomas [< f-

In conclusion he said bis erceting here had shown him
there was really no practical bnundarv between Marvland
and Virginia.

SPIRIT OF '76.

NOVEMBER, ig •*

THE BALTIMORE CHAPTER O. A. R.
The Baltimore Chapter, Daughters of the American
Revolution, gave a reception at Colonial Hall, 417 North
Charles street, in honor of Hon. Edwin Warfield, presi-
dent general of the National Society of the Sons of the
American Revolution., The affair was also in the nature
of a deferred celebration of Peggy Stewart Day, which
fell this year upon Sunday, October 19.

A movement cf great interest to patriotic societies and
to students of colonial history was inaugurated by Mr.
Warfield in his address, during which he practically put
on foot a plan to secure a joint home, of adequate propor-
tions, for the Sons ofthe American Revolution, and for
the Daughters of the American Revolution in which
might be displayed historic relics of great value that arc
now resting in odd corners of private homes. The pro-
ject seemed to meet with the warmest approbation of those
present at the meeting.

Mrs. A. Leo Knott, the chapter regent, called the gath-
ering to order, and the manner of the appointment of the
nominating committee to select officers to be voted for
in November, was considered. The regent was finally
empowered to appoint the nominating committee.

Mrs. Knott then made an address upon the subject
"Peggy Stewart Day." Mrs. Knott said :

We hold today a postponed celebration of Peggy Ste-
wart Day — a day. ever memorable in the Revolutionary
annals of Maryland, our native state.

There was more than one tea party in our country at
that era. We have all often read full and detailed acounts
of the Boston tea party. It is celebrated in song and story.
There is no historian of that tremendous struggle, the
Revolution, who has not given a full and particular ac-
count of that patriotic and deservedly memorable incident.
But of the tea party which was held at Annapolis, the
capital of the then Province of Maryland, on the 19th of
October. 1774, in the history of our country has hardly
made any mention. And yet it was an event as patriotic
and as deserving to be recorded by the pen of the histor-
ian as the tea party at Boston.

The act of the destruction of the tea was not done in
the darkness of the night nor by a body of masked men,
but by daylight and openly, by the Committee of Public
Safety of Anne Arundel County, a body of patriotic, and
highly respectable citizens. It is true they did not apply
the torch themselves, but they required that the owner
of the brig and the importer of the tea, as a condition of
his retaining the esteem of his fellow citizens, should con-
sign both brig and cargo to the flames. This Mr. Stewart
did. It was done. too. under the very eye of Robert Eden,
the last proprietary governor of Maryland, who witnessed
die transaction from the governor's residence — that build-
ing subsequently known as the White House on the Bay
Shore, and the residence of the governors of Marvland
until a comoaratively recent period, when it was sold to
the Unitf-'' States government.

It is said tint Governor Eden, who, with sad forebod-
ings of the future, watched the burning of the brig from a
window observed. "This looks like rebellion." and the
Tovernoy was right. Tt was rebellion. It was the first
distinctive act on the part of Marvland in the opening of
the great drama of the Revolution, bv which she definitely
committed herself to the cause of her sifter colonies in
their united and heroic efforts for freedom and independ-
ence.

The memory of so striking and glorious an event in our
Revoiu'-on should be preserved, and it is the purpose of
•he Baltimore Chapter of the Daughters of the ^mericm
Revolution <o commemorate it bv an annual celebration,
and for that purpose, ladies, we meet here lodav.

Mrs. Knott introduced Mr. Warfield as the first Mary-
lander to be honored by the high position of president ger
eral of the National Society of the Sons of the American
Revolution. During Ids remarks Mr. Warfield said :

"] understand that this is you<- annual celebration of
Peggy Stewart Day, deferred because the nineteenth cai
on Sunday. I do' not think that history has done full
honor to that event. It was the first overt act against
George III. It was to the sons cf the first settlers who
had their hearts fired with the spirit of liberty that the
burning of the Peggy Stewart was due. It would be well
to bring these facts strongly to the attention of the
Daughters of the American Revolution, but before doing
so it would be well to ask the Daughters to co-operate
with the Sons of the American Revolution in getting some
home, some permanent place, where we can put historical
exhibits that we have gathered from the garrets.

The true history cf the war has not been written. T he
only account is from an English traveler who was here at
the time, and his account has been ccpied by historians.
He speaks of the parts played by Carroll and Chase with-
out mentioning the men who actually destroyed the vessel.

Mr. Warfield titer, spoke of the part taken in the burn-
ing of the Peggy Stewart bv Dr. Charles Alexander War-
field, of whom Mr. Warfield is a collateral descendant
and who died in 1816. A newspaper clipping from a pub-
lication just after the death of Dr. Warfield, telling the
story of the burning of the Peggy Stewart, framed with
a picture of Dr. Warfield, was then presented by Mr War-
field to the Baltimore Chapter.

In presenting thus interesting relic Mr. Warfield said
that he thought that the best method to teach patriotism
was through the eye. "Some visitors to my home have
told me on leaving, " he said, "that they there read the
Declaration of Independence for the first time. I have
the Declaration cf Independence on the side of mv door-
way."

Again, speaking about Peggy Stewart Day, Mr. War-
field said: "Masachusetts claims great glory for having
thrown the tea overboard, but greater glory is ours f e r
having burned the Peggy Stewart in broad daylight."

Referring again to the project of a joint home., Mr.
Warfield said: "I don't think that you could do anvthing
that would tend to bring out history to a greater degree
than the home project. This is a patriotic organization,
not a mutual admiration societv nor a social organization.
I think the sons ami Daughters ought to join in this
move.

"I am disappointed at not seeing a flag of our country
here. You do not venerate the flag enough. The first
thing you see at mv home is the Stars and Stripes."

"The Stars and Bars," suggested one of the ladies.

"The Stars and Bars and the Star- and Stripes can be
entwined." said Mr. Warfield quickly. "Thai conflict is
over now. and no cue in this country now revet" its insti-
tutions more than the Sons and Daughters of the Ameri-
can Revolution. We of Marvland are hanging on our
walls together the pictures of those who wore the grav
and those who wore the blue. Grant and Lee mav banc:
side bv side. There is no reason why thev should n I
Tt is an example that we should teach the people."

of the Ancient and Honorable Mechanical Company, a

WlLLIAM Jones, New Haven; idly said to be son of
that Col. John, the regicide, executed 1060, who had, late

in life, many years after the birth of this William, mar-
ried second or fifth sister of famous Oliver Cromwell.
widow of Roger Whetstone, by the Protector called to be
one of the lords or ''other house," as lie termed in con-
tempt of the work of his own hands, cliiclly was it so
surmised, prob. because he came from England shortly
before the suffering of his supposed lather. True it is
that he arrived in Boston from London (where he was
born, 1624, and had been a lawyer), 1660, in the same
ship with the celebrated regicides, Wholley and Gcfi'e
and brought sons William and Nathaniel, born to him
by first wife. But he bail motive sufficient to come wlih-
OUt the vain fear of being pointed at for a son 0/ thai
tool of Oliver, because in virtue of a marriage contract
of 1659, he, by the style of YV. J. of the parish of St.
Martin's in the Field, Co. Middlesex, hail married Han-
nah Eaton of the parish of St. Andrew, Holborn, Lon-
don, spinster, youngest daughter of Gov. Theophilus
Eaton, and was well inclined to take care of her estate
at New Haven; brought a child, Hannah, the offspring
of that union, born same season of the embarkation ; had
there Theophilus, 1661, died in 3 days; Sarah, 1662;
Eliz., 1G64, but bapt. by the name of Mary; Samuel,
1.666, died at 6 1110s. ; John, 1667. H. C, 1690; Deodat,
March, 1670, died next month: Isaac. 1671 ; Abigail and
Rebecca, twins, 1673, died both in 5 days; and Susanna,
1675 ; of Caleb, by Increase Mather, called a son. we ma\
well doubt, as he tells of his death- at sea, 1(176. He was
of good talents, a very active public servant, assist, and
dcp. gov. of the col. of New Haven, and after assist..
167S of the United Col. of Conn.; died, 1706.

JOSSELYN, JOCELYN, JOSELIN, or JOSLIX:—
Abraham Josselyn, Scarborough; of the grand jury,
1658; was, perhaps, brother of Henry, Esquire, and John,
the traveller; but whether he went home or died here, is
unknown.

Henry Josselyn, Scarborough, son of Sir Thomas of
Co. Kent; came, perhaps, as early as 1631 ; certainly was
here in 1634, but this was in employment of Mason, pat-
entee of N. H., after whose death lie engaged under Sir
F. Gorges, and most faithful was his servant from 1636?
freeman, 1658; he married Margaret, widow of Capt.
Thomas Cammock ; was for a long time the second per-
son in authority in Maine; in 1665 of course he enjoyed
the favor of the royal commissioners, but again became
loyal to the usurp, governm. of Mas^. In 1676 he was
subdued by the Indians, and prob. went to the westward!
but no more is known. See Williamson. Sullivan, 369,
supposed that he went to Plymouth, and Willis, 12S fol-
lowed that mistake. The indefatigable historian of Port-
lam! discovered that he was at Pemaquid in 1682, and
died early next year.

Jomv Josselyn, Scarborough, the well-known author;
brother of the first Henry, came in the Nicholas, charter-
ed by Edward Tyng; arrived from Loudon at Boston,
1638; nu.de a short excursion to S. to see his brother:
went home m the bellowsliip from Boston and reached
Bideforu, 1639. His next visit brought him to Boston
1663, whence, after spending 1 few weeks, he went to
his brother at S. and remained S years. He went home
and published in 1672, his book, "New Eng. Rarities,"
more curious than trustworthy.

result of its work. Our great drawback is, that there is no;
one dollar for the expenses of the Committee, and if a very
small amount could be subscribed by members, it would al-
low of work being done that would be of great aid to a suc-
cessful end. With respect,

municate with the State Societies with a view to having their

SPIRIT OF '76.

on the McKinlevMemorial, for information of the Board of
Managers convening at Baltimore, October 20th, I have thi
honor to report that the action of the Congress at Washing-
Secretary-Gcneral a report of the new members oMhe so-
ciety; also that the Secretary-General be notified ot the L-
lection of all officer? and appointment of ail standing com-
mittees, and of any changes made in the same of the State
Societies. To this end, the Registrar-General and the Secre-
tary-General were instructed to prepare a form to Ik- sent by
the Secretary-General to the Slate societies, upon which Lie
matter desired by the Secretary-General could be reported to
him at such times as he might request. This motion was
carried.

At the last annual congress, the Executive Committee was
authorized and directed to frame an ruder and system of bus-
iness to be presented to the Society at its next annual con-
vention in the form of a by-law. Tt was moved by Judge
Hancock, and the motion was carried, that this matter be re-
ferred to the Secretary-General, and that lie prepare a drait
to be submitted at the next meeting of th Executive Com-
mittee.

At the last annual convention, the matter of assisting Lie
Sons of the Revolution in the erection within the State of
Pennsylvania of an equestrian statute of Major-Generai
Anthony Wayne, was referred for action to the^ Executive
Committee. No action as yet has been taken. Hon. Noble
D. Earned moved that the matter be acted upon, and the at-
tention of the Executive Committee called to it. with the
request that the report be submitted at the next meeting of
the Board of Managers.

Vice-President-General Logan stated that, something
should be done soon, as it was about a year ago that the mat-
ter was originally referred to the Pennsylvania Society of th"
Sous of the American Revolution, and it was then referred to
the National organization at I he last annual congress. Mr.
Earners motion was carried.

Under Judge Whitehead's resolution at the last annual
congress, to the effect that the- Congress of the United State-,
should aid the people of New Jersey in their effort to com-
memorate the Battle of Princeton by the erection of a suita-
ble monument, and that the convention of the Sons of the
American Revolution uruc upon the Senate and representa-
tive in congress assembled the passage of a lull before the
National legislature, appropriating a sumof money in aid of
the enterprise, the following were appointed a Committee:

Hon. Franklin Murphy. Chairman. Trenton, New Jersey.

Hon. John Whitehead, Morristown. New Jersey.

Gen. James F. Rusling, Trenton. New Jersey.

Andrew W. Bray. East Orange. New Jersey.

Walter Seth Logan, New York.

W. W. J. Warren, New York.

Chafles Waldo Haskins, New York.

The question of grave markers was next brought up. Mr.
Chandler, of New Haven, Connecticut, had previously spoken
to Secretary-General Haskins in regard to a certain corpor-
ation advertising that they made grave markers of any da-
sign. After some discussion em the subject, it was finally
moved by Treasurer-General Warren that the Secretary-
General communicate with the Stale Societies, requesting
them to adhere strictly to the marker adopted by the Nation-
al Society, except in such cases where the State Societies ban
already adopted a certain design; and that orders for grave
markers be given only when certified to by the Registrar ot
the State Society and by the Registrar-General of the Nation-
al Society, that the Registrar-General and Secretary-
General prepare a circular to be sent to the Secretaries of the
various State Societies regarding the ordering, etc. of grave
rnaikers. Motion carried.

The next matter brought before the Board was the ques-
tion of where the next annual congress of the Society should
be held, and what should be the policy of the organization
in regard to a place of meeting, etc.

On motion of Judge Hancock, a Committee of five was
appointed to prepare a report to be submitted at the next
meeting of the Board of Managers, looking to the adoption
of some plan by which the selection of a place for the future
meetings of the National Congress should be detii mined.
and in what way the expenses of the same should be borne.
The cha.ir appointed on this committee the following:
Hon. John Whitehead, Chairman. New Jersey.

Hon. James Denton Hancock, Pennsylvania.

George Williams Bates. Michigan.
Hon. Monis I-;. Beardsley, Connecticut.
Hon. Isolde D. Lamer. Washington, D. C.
On motion the meeting adjourned, subject to the call of
the President-General.

PARK HILL ON THE HUDSON."

EMPIRE STATE. SOCIETY.
Sons of the American Revolution at Park Hill Country Club.

'Die pretty home of the Park Eliil Country Club was the
scene of life and gayety, mingled with patriotic fervor and
oratory last night. The ocasion was the monthly meeting of
the Empire State Society, Sons of the American Revolution.
It is the custom of this society to hold its meetings, now and
again, in various parts of New York City, for the greater so-
cial enjoyment of its members. For a better observance of
the anniversary of the battle of White Plains, a, id incidentally
to create interest in the projected movement to place momi
ments on various historic points on that battlefield, the Board
of Managers of the society determined to hold their meeting
this month in Yonl ers. Judging from the pleased express
ions which Jell from the lips of many of. the members the
society will visit this city again.

'I lie approach to the Ciub House had been illuminated with
Japanese lanterns, while around the edges of the little lake
had been placed miniature lamps with red, white and bine
colored glass, which formed a pleasing effect. Inside the
building the decorations were of a patriotic order, being com-
posed principally of flags.

In the afternoon the Keskeskick Chapter, Daughters of the
American Revolution, gave a reception t.> the members of the
society. Among the ladies who did the honors were Mrs
Henry L. Howison. Mrs. B. W. Stilwell. Mrs. W. W. Scrim-
ham, Sr., Mrs W. W. Bliven, Miss Kellinger and Miss Fitch.

Yonkers Chapter, Sons oi the American Revolution, held
a meeting during the evening and elected the following offi-
cers: Theodore Gilman, President; Virgil P. Humason, Elon.
Cornelius A. Pugsley of Peek-skill, Elon. William P. Piatt of
White Plains, Dr. Champion H. Judson of Dobbs Ferry, Ma-
yor Edwin W. Fiske of Mount Vernon, and Eloward Scribner
of Pelham. Vice-presidents; James S. Pitch, Secretary;
Hampton D. Ewing, Treasurer: Rev. Dr. J. Lewis Hartsock,
Chaplain; R. E. Prime Jr., Registrar; and D. McN. Stauffer,
Historian.

On account of the late arrival of many of the members of
the Empire State Society, it was 8 o'clock before those pres-
ent sat down to the banquet. This was served in the base-
ment of the building. Two long tables ran the whole length
of the bowling alleys, and several smaller tables were scat-
tered in available corners. So great was the crush that sev-
eral of the officers were compelled to forego seats. It is es-
timated that more than 1S0 were present. The tables were
decorated with cand< labra containing red and white candles.
with shades of patriotic colors. Moultrie was the catarer

Logan, vice-presi-

dent Edward Payson Cone presided and acted as toastmas-
ter. A departure was made from the usual practice on these
occasions, in that the toastmaster called upon various speak-
ers while the dinner was yet in progress, and the members
also transacted the business of the society.

Congressman Pugsley was the first gentleman to respond,
and he made a short speech brimming over with good humor.
Pie spoke of the spirit of liberty winch dwells in the heart
of the American citizen, and which has made the nation so
great. It is that spirit, he said, which will icad the people to
adhere strongly to the obligations entered into by Presidi nt
McKinley in regard to the Philippines, and it is that spirit
which will lead the people to stand by the/ American soldier
and sailor. In no other nation does the soldier come so close
to the people as the American soldier. From factory and
counting room, from the plow and the shop, they have come
forward in behalf of their country, and it argues well that
they have borne with such courage and cheerfulness the bur-
dens which have rested upon them.

Several communications on different matters were read in
connection with the business of the Empire State Society.
One of them referred to the preservation of the old Martyr's
Prison, now known as the Hall of Records in New York.
On motion a committee was appointed to make a presenta-
tion of its claims for preservation to the New York Board of
Aldermen.

A nominating committee, consisting 'of George IT D=unv
Pom's A. Ames. A. W. Ireland. Martin C. Allen Grant
Wayne. Austin M. Slauson and John D. Mowris, was ap-
pointed. -They w-ill make a report at the meeting preceedinp -
the annual meeting in April.

After the business matters had been cleared up Toast-
master Cone called upon Ralph E. Prime. Sr. Mr Prime
spoke more especially of the battle of White P'ains show-
ing its importance. We have been slow in this county in
recognizing the significance of the battle in the history of the
country. Ehe men have been too much engaged in the r><sh
to keep at the head of the business procession; but I am Had
that the ladies have taken up this movement to monument
the battlefield. That battle was by no means insignificant
the speaker then gave a description of the battle and *he
events preceding it.

Amoncr those who spoke were Dr. Frank O Hail of Vcv
} ork, Mayor M. J. Walsh. Edwin Ilageman Hall and Theo-
dore Pitch. Phey all spoke in a more or less humorous
= tram. and aroused much merriment.

Mr Fitch said, in reference to the battle of White Plains
and the movement to marl; it with monuments: But you tell
us White Plains was a defeat. Yes; and so was Bunker Hill
--and, as in the latter case, it was a glorious defepf that mac-
victory possible in the years to come, so at Whit- Plains"
It ought to be similarly commemorated.

hall above, where a promenade concert wa

writing "The History of After dinner

Speaking." So with Champ Clark, Edward Everett Male. Senator
Dolliver, and Hamilton Wright Mabie — each was producing a special
contribution, which, of itself, is a gem of thought, a monument of re-
search, study, and observant experience.

\\ hatever the viewpoint, this w oik is without precedent. It has no
predecessor, no competitor. Speeches that have been Hashed across
continents, lectures that have been repeated over and over again to never-
tiring audiences ( but never published ) addresses that have made famous
the man, the time and the place — these are brought together for the first
time, and with them large numbers of the wittiest sayings of the men of
the nineteenth century.

For an hour tor r, whole evening in en easy chair -.it home— for the study
of style and diction that have electrified brilliant pssemblies, for the man
ambitious to become a successful or popular public speaker, and for the one
who has to prepare a toost or an address this work i5 a never»failing source
o charm and inspiration. Nor is this solely "a man's work." "The ten-
derest tribute to a woman I have ever read," said Senator Dolliver when
he read mauscript of Joseph Choate's after dinner speech, "The Pilgrim
Mothers."

"I honor the man who is ready to sink

Half his present repute for the freedom to think ;

And when he has thought, be liiscan.se strong or weak,

Will sink t'other half for the freedom to speak,

Caring naught for what vengance the mob has in store,

Let the mob be the upper ten thousand, or lower."

James Rnssell Lowell.

A FEW SUGGEST

F you want to get at the root of the evil, strike at
the top.

Anarchy is a violent protest against injustice.

Give justice to the people, and there will be no an-
archy.

Instead of exerting all your energies on the ignorant
immigrant who will not understand your intentions, be-
gin with those unscrupulous but unusually intelligent
men who are responsible for anarchy.

An untutored child has a finer sense of justice than a
matured man. The ignorant immigrant is as a child.

A story is told of a stranger riding into a Connecticut
town and inquiring of a native for a "Justice." The reply
was that there was no Justice in the town but plenty of
"Squires."

One source of anarchy is that there is too much law,
and not enough justice.

Begin at the trusts. The Standard Chi Company stran-
gles competition. If a man has a business they want, they
get it and the man has no redress.

In to-day's ]

taper

it stales that the New York, New

Haven and Hartford Railroad appropriated several ca
loads of coal (the property of a manufacturer) to its use.
Another item say> that a man was arrested and put in
jail because he was caught taking a bag of coal from
this same railroad.

How tan you leach your immigrant that one is right
and the other not?

The disclosures of (he coal strike showing that children
'vork all night for a mere pittance to •'■ke out their par-
ents meagre pay to keep body and soul together. While
'he coal trust magnates are declaring millions in divi-

IONS ON ANARCHY.

dends, show that there is injustice and therefore cause
for anarchy.

There is no doubt but these magnates are accumulat-
ing enough ftiel to keep warm in the hereafter.

The latest trust to engender anarchy is the Gambler's
Combine, wdio are trying- to depose an honest District
Attorney for doing his duty, and this trust have secured
the services of a misfit '"Governor c>f the Empire Slate."
to do the dirty work, and bv his former prestige over-
awe the gullabie public.

Another dangerous factor, (possibly the worst of all)
is the power of the walking delegate of the trade unions.
This is a form of anarchy that has been brought about
bv the greed of the monopolist. A discussion of their
power will do more toward the enlightenment of the
anarchist subject than any other.

"""jT^HE National Society of the Sons of the American
Revolution have at last taken up a live issue
which may be some reason for their existence.
The Society is hampered by old "fossil" and
dried bones of dead memories of their ancestors, What
is needed, is something to stir them up, but anyone fool-
ish enough to undertake anything seasonable is apt to
be very much discouraged for his pains.

In the report of the last annual Congress from one
of o\w Eastern States, the Seen tary reports as follows:
"This Society is in a healthy condition ! Active member-
ship on rolls. February 22nd, 1001, 257; number ad-
milted the past year, 10; number lost by death, to; num-
ber dropped, jo; active membership on rolls at this
date, 256; a loss of one rather than a gain for a year's
work. The great trouble with our Society is that they
pick out some prominent man and make him accept an

office which he doesn't care for and in which he isn't the
least, interested, but they consider the prestige of his
name of great value in making the Society. Of course,
the Socieiv wants prominent men, hut to grow it needs
men who arc willing to work and who are interested in
the objects of the organization. A plain, everyday man
(not so prominent) who will get to work and do some-
thing is of more value to tin growth of the organization
than the prominent but disinterested incumbent.

Probably the publisher of this paper is better acquaint-
ed with the majority of the members and their thoughts
than anv one man in the organization, lie has had to
be, for he has kept alive the national organ of this So-
ciety for the past six years. This paper is the official
organ of the Sons of the American Revolution. How
has it been received and supported by the members?

The Daughters of the American Revolution have their
official organ ; they pay the. editor of their magazine
$1,000 a year for her labors and also make up a defici-
ency of about $5,000 a year for the support of their or-
gan. There are men in power of the various State or-
ganizations who are so puffed up with their own im-
portance that any innovation that doesn't emanate from
them is considered an intrusion., and they, in an under-
handed manner, stop the progress in the organization
that should stand for the highest example of American-
ism. This idea of teaching foreigners the difference be-
tween license and liberty should be inaugurated by our
Society, and should be pushed by live men. Many of our
State Societies would double their membership had they
the right kind of officers at their head, and from various
sources and communications that come to this office
there is an under current of protest against things
as they are, and we propose to probe into and try to
correct conditions.

THE National Register of the Sons of the Ameri-
can Revolution was a contribution to the good
of the National Society by its then President-
General, Walter Seth Logan. The National
Societv had no funds to get out such a work. Many of
the societies agreed to take copies of the work provided
it was published. On the strength of the representation
and promises given to the Publication Committee, ii. ap-
peared that the work could be published without a loss
to the publisher. The work has. as you know, been com-
pleted and delivered. Many of those who have sub-
scribed have not paid, and many have repudiated their
personal contracts. State Societies that have promised
to do something have done nothing, and on the strength
of this, the book has been 3 financial failure. The book-
should never have been sold for less than $5. The Cali-
fornia boolc which was sold to the members for S3. 50 per
copy is less than one-third the size of the National Reg-
ister. The National Register contained the records of
all the members as compiled by the Registrar-General at
Washington. Several of the larger State officers ob-
jected to the publication of the book because their State
Societies were getting out their own books, and they
didn't see the need of this general work. These State
Societies spend annually of their funds from $10,000 to
$20,000 on their State book's. This money could be ap-
propriated to a much better purpose providing a Na-
tional Register could be published annually, but ihere
apparently is no desire for this annual. The publisher
of this paper has already announced that he would z;ci
out a second edition, containing a register of the mem-
bers joining this year. He also is getting out this work,
that mistakes in the first volume may be corrected in
this second book. This second volume will bo issued by
him personally, without asking anv assistance from the

National or State Societies. Individuals who wish to
aid its publication are asked to do so. The work: will be
distributed in various libraries and a large edition pub-
lished. After this attempt, if their books are to be pub
lished by the National Society, the work will be done by
someone besides the present editor.

T the meeting of the Board of Managers, held in
New York, December 16, at the Waldorf-As-
toria, the Connecticut Society of the Sons of
the American Revolution invited the National
Society to hold their annual Congress at New Haven,
Conn., April 30 and May 1, 1 903. The National So-
ciety had announced that they were hereafter to hold
their annual Congresses at a place designated by them-
selves, arid pay their own expenses and not lie received
as the guests of any State, as it was considered too much
of a tax for the members of the State to spend for their
entertainment. 'Connecticut lias bravely come to the
front, and proposes to give us as good a "time as we ever
had on the old lines, and we hope that our various com-
patriots will appreciate their generositv and strain it to
the utmost bv a large attendance of delegates.

PURCHSE OF THE JUMEL MANSION.

J 11 accordance with the resolution adopted on Feb-
ruary 28 (minutes, p. 892), a hearing was given on the
recommendation of the Local Board to purchase the
Jumel Mansion and grounds on behalf of the City.

Mr. II. K. Bush-Brown, a sculptor and member of the
Architectural and other art societies in the city, and Mr.
Louis II. Cornish, editor of "The Spirit of '76", 'who
started the movement, spoke in favor of purchasing the
property. Mr. Cornish submitted communications from
the following persons, all favoring the purchase : General
II. C. King, General Thomas Wilson, Hon. Chauncey
M. Depew, Hon. Theodore Roosevelt, Edward Payson
Cone, Empire State Society Sons of the American Revo-
lution.

The Secretary stated that, in addition to J he forego-
ing, communications favoring the project had been re-
ceived from the following: Mrs. Donald McLean, Rev.
Arthur C. Limber, Vicar of St. Augustine's Trinity Par-
ish, New York, Society for the Preservation of Scenic
and Historic Places and Objects, William C. Church,
editor "Army and Navy Journal," General Wilson, Jo-
siah C. Pumpelly, George W. Olney, of "The New York
World," Charles II. Wight, Homer Lee, James de la
Montayne, Colonel Lilian Allen, W. A. Marble, T. D.
Huntting, Hiram R. Steele. Edward Payson Cone, Dep-
uty Governor, New York Society of the Order of the
Founders and Patriots of America. William W. Bliven,
James Loder Raymond, George Henry Raymond..

The following report from the Engineer was then
read :

Board of Public Improvements. March 7, iqoo.
Hon. Maurice F. Holahan, President, Board of Public
Improvements,
Sir: — The memorials of Louis II. Cornish, Brigadier-
General Thomas Wilson and many others, relative to the
purchase of the Jumel Mansion and the ground upon
which it stands, referred to me March 3, 1900, for report
thereon. After an examination of the premises, I find
that the value is to be considered first commercially as
follows :

The plot of ground is bounded by Edgecomb road.
One Hundred and Sixtieth street. One Hundred and
Sixty-second street and Jumel terrace; the dimensions
are 364 feet 9 inches by 168 feet 9 inches, by 172 feet 10
inches, by 359 feet 3 3-4 inches, the total area amounting
to 67,397 square feet, or about twenty-seven city lots of
25 feet by too feet. The surface of the ground is ele-
vated from 4 feet to 16 feet, the central portion on which
the house stands, about 30 feet above the grade of the
surrounding streets, and protected on three sides by re-
taining walk*, the remaining side on Edgecomb road by
the natural rock.

The streets are legally opened and. the title acquired
by the City; three of the surrounding ,-trcets paved, side-
walks flagged, etc., water, gas, etc. ; Edgecomb road on
the front regulated, curbed, but net paved.

The estimated value of the proper1)' as compared with
unimproved property in the immediate neighborhood,
taking the tax for 1900 at 60 per cent, of the market
value, including corner lots, etc., will amount to :}>.\~.-
125; the market value for the mansion for relic-hunters,
say Sio.oee, making the total estimated value of ::,.~7,-
I2> or aboui $5,820 pr city lot of 25 by too feet.

The location, if taken tor a public park, commands a
fine and unobstructed view of the Harlem River, Long
Island Sound and the surrounding country, owing to
its high elevation, being nearly 200 feet above tin- -iver.
with nothing that can be built to obstruct the view.
The Jumel Mansion as an historic relic — its value is

questionable. The house was built about the year 1758
by Roger Morris, a Colonel m the British Army sta-
tioned at New York and occupied until the commence-
men of the War of the Revolution, 1776. After its
abandonment by Morris, was used by the Continental
forces, and occupied by Washington as Commander-in-
Chief of the Armv, as his headquarters, at different
times between the latter part of June to the middle of
October, 1776.

The mansion is two stories and attic high, with base-
ment, constructed of wood tilled in with brick, and built
in two parts, tin" front 01 main portion being 52 feet
8 inches wide by 38 feel 6 inches deep, the rear- part 30
feel by 21 feet, connected by a passage-saloon or assem-
bly-room on the first floor, with, bed-rooms on the
above floor; the ceilings on the first floor are about ti
feet high; the hall or passageway extends through the
center of the building, and is 12 feet in width, with a
reception-room on the left as you enter, 18 1-2 feci by 20
feet ; in this room is still left the old fire-place and man-
tle-tree piece about 12 feet wide, and dining-room 18 1-2
by 24 feet on the right has been somewhat modernized.
In the rear of the reception-room is a small room now
used as a billiard-room 17 1-2 feel by 16 1-2 feet; on the
opposite side from this room a wide staircase with two
landings to second floor. The second story contains
nine rooms, large and small, hall 12 feet wide, ceiling 9
feet high. There is also a one-story kitchen on the first
floor in the rear, 22 feet by 12 feet, of modern con-
struction.

The house is in good state of preservation, with many
of the old trimmings and decorations of the original
house.

The stable in the rear of the lot. 37 by 40 feet, two
stories in height, in good repair.

About the year 1800, it became the property of Ste-
phen Jumel, a French merchant of the City, and ac-
cupied In- himself and wife during the latter part of his
life ; after his death the celebrated Madame Jumel. wdio,
late in life married Aaron Burr, lived there until her
death in 1865.

The propertv went into litigation between the Ameri-
can and French claimants, and on November 14, 1882,
was sold by order of the Supreme Court, partition sale
by Philo I. Ruggles as referee, and after passing through
several purchasers, is now owned by Lillie J. Earle, wife
of General Ferdinand Pinney Earle.

BOSTON-NEW JERSEY AND NEW YORK
TEA PARTIES.

BY permission of The Boston Tea Parly Chanter,
D. A. R., Boston, Mass., I have secured the
names of 127 men who took part in the de-
struction of the tea in Boston Harbor, Dec.
1773. There were 140 engaged in it. A few years
ago onl\ 60 of the tea party were known. The Boston
Tea Party threw into the harbor, 18 pounds sterling.

According to dates. Greenwich, Cumberland County.
New Jersey, is entitled to the first Tea Party. Dec. 12.
1773: next Boston. Dec. 16, 1773. But if the New York
ship "Nancy" had not been delayed she would have
been in New York Nov 25, 1773.

There were other tea parties, at Philadelphia, Char-
leston, New York- and New Jersey. According to Todd's
N. Y., page 147, New York had hers, only dclavcd
three months later, first ship the "Nancy" due in Yew
York, Nov. 25, 1773 and the "Mohawks" similar to that
which destroyed the Boston tea. The sons of Liberty,
the New York pilots, refused to bring the "Nancy" far-
ther than Sandy Hook. There she was boarded by a
committee of the Sons, who took possession of her boats
that her crew might not escape and thus prevent her
from being sent back to England. "The London," Cap-
tain Chambers, was boarded at Sandy Hook by the Lib-
erty Boys. They found on board (18) eighteen chests
of tea, which probablv went into the water.

In Southern New. Jersey, on Dec. 12, 1773. the big
"Greyhound" sailed up the Cohansey with a cargo of
tea, and moored at Greenwich. She hailed ostensibly
from Rotterdam, but, aside from the fact that there was
something suspicious in bringing the tea to an obscure-
port, there were other reasons for believing that the
cargo really came from England, and that the port of
hail was merely a ruse. The circumstance that the tea
was secretly landed and stored in Daniel Bowen's cel-
lar confirmed the suspicions of the patriots of Green-
wich who were as full of zeal for Colonial liberty as their
brethren in the parts further North. A committee of five
was appointed, when the affair gc>t wind, to mount guard
over the tea until a county committee could arbitrate the
question. But while the decision of the latter was pend-
ing a party of citizens disguised as Indians broke into
the building where the tea was stored, and in an hour
the fraerant cargo that was intended to gladden so many
domestic boards at the expense of Colonial richts was
reduced to ashes, and once more the wrath of England
'had been defied.

THE NATIONAL REGISTER
SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

A REVIEW.

"A National Register of the Society of the Sons of the
American Revolution" Compiled and Published under
the Auspices of the National Publication Committee.

Edited bv A. Howard Clark. Registrar-General Na-
tional Societv, Washington, D. C. L 8vo , buckram.
pp. 1035. Price, $3.00.

This book contains an outline of the history of the
National Society, and short historical sketches of the
various State organizations, together with the Constitu-
tion of the National .Societv, and lists of National Offic-
ers from the beginning. It also gives full directions for
joining, and where to look for evidence of Revolution-
ary service. The much latger portion of the book, how-
ever, is fdled up with the names lineages and military
service of the ancestors of the more titan fourteen thou-
sand members of the Societv, which makes a vast amount
r.f valuable cenoalogioal material. The State and other
branch.es oi the Societv are arranged alphabetically, and
the names of members are also similarly arranged in
their respective divisions, so it is quite easy to find any
member of a stale societv ; but the vast amount oi genea-
logical ma iter is accessible onlv by most patient and
persistent search, for there is no index at all in the book.

oiisly published most excellent examples ol how such a
book ought 10 be constructed, and we arc verj sorry to
see thai our brothers of the sterner (?) sex have not
followed their- example in the construction of this bock.
I here should have been two indexes, one of members
and one of Revolutionary ancestors and other names —
■lie former being designated by italics. A subject-index
would also add materially to the value of the book as
;i work of reference. \\ e hope if the book should be re-
vised in a few years, and another edition should be
printed, thai the above named omissions will be supplied,
[lie book contains mam historical illustrations and por-
traits of officers, both National and State, and some por-
traits of members, all of which add greath to the beauty
of the bock. The mechanical execution of the book is
faultless, the paper though not of the best quality is
probably fully as good as the subscription price previ-
ous to publication) warranted the publisher in using: but
we think a majority of the subscribers would have been
better satisfied with a finer grade of material at a higher
price. This book lias, through the generosity oi mem-
bers, been placed in all the public libraries of several
states, and many more libraries in less fortunate states
should by some means possess themselves of the work
for it is a vast storehouse of information which is sought
constantly by a great number of people. — The "Old

In speaking of horses of the Continental Army, a
poem of the "Loyalist Verse" says:

"Their bellies were filled with Patriotism
But void of oats and hay."

Like unto these continental horses is the publisher of

he'd of patriotism, which he has found sterile and unpro-
ductive.

esting reminiscences of childhood and the awe experienced on
meeting one of Washington's generals who had been closel)
associated with the bather oi our country

playing unusual temperament. ■ cnr:ptv

ELLA AMELIA AND SARAH BELLE.

"Just one story!'1' Pray then listen

To one that I will tell,
Of gentle Ella Amelia

And little Sarah Belle. .

'Twas long ago, now let me see,

In Sixty-One, no, Two.
We must be sure about the year,

For this wee story's true.

Hard, cruel war was all abroad

Throughout our country dear,
And brothers oft were deadly foes,

And homes were filled with fear.

For fathers, husbands, brothers, sons,

Marched to the battlefield,
To fight for that which they thought right,

For that alone to yield.

And so from north., and so from south,

Brave men led in the fray.
And in the homes of north "and south

Death entered ev'ry day.

The soldier's life at best was hard,

His keepsakes were but few,
But human hearts were much the same

Beneath the gray or blue.

A letter or an ambrotype,

A little lock of hair,
Brought visions of the dear home folks,

And kept away despair.

And so to give to dear papa,

Before he goes away,
To be a soldier in the war,

And tight from day to day —

These little maids oi three and four,

With hair and eyes of brown,
To have their pictures taken,

Go up to Hartford town.

Oh, very, very Still they sat,

And spread their hands out so,
They had to sit a long, long time

For pictures long ago.

And when they were " 'most tired out,"

In dainty case and trim.
They had their pictures for papa

To take to war with him.

M. WINCHESTER ADAMS.

OUR PROPAGANDA OF AMERICAN PRINCIPLES.
Editor of Spirit of '76:

Our anti-Anarchist Committee has not been given an official

designation. It seemed to be the intention ot our Congress to
appoint a special committee to devise ways and means to in-
augurate a propaganda of American principles, and to plan a
crusade against social ignorance and discontent.

Soon this great project must go before our national society
as a Committee of the Whole Every member has an equal,
or should have an equal, interest in our purpose to check an-
archistic tendencies by educational methods. I write to-day,
Mr. Editor, to say that I have received more than a score of
letters expressing sincere sympathy in our movement. Among
others, we have received a letter from the venerable Geo. H.
Williams, president of the Oregon Society, and who as Grant's
Attorney General drew up the Reconstruction Laws. We have
received encouragement and wise suggestions from our able
President General, also frcsn Gen. Charles King, and from com-
patriots Richardson, Loomis. Fitzgerald, Harper, E. D. War-
field, Chaplain General Clark Dimity of Louisiana, Ashley Ca-
bell of Missouri, and from a. number of gentlemen not connected
with our society, as from the Secretary of the Hull House of
Chicago, from the President of a National Library Associa-
tion, and from Col. Markbreit, editor of the Cincinnati Yolks-
blatt. It may be interesting to summarize the suggestions re-
ceived. Nearly all agree that we should distribute tracts trans-
lated into various languages; some say that these should be
distributed in tiic immigrant ships, others that they should be
given to them on their landing, and others that they should
be distributed in their local settlements. Our educators say
that this ignorant, discontented element can be reached only
through their children, and others hold that the first and only
thing needful is the political defeat of boodle aldermen in our
great cities.

Interesting as these suggestions are, they are not what we
want at this stage of the game. In the words of Gadgrind: '"We
want facts, sir! very hard facts."

Very few of out correspondents give us any facts Most o'.
them say that the anarchists are in the next city. Like malaria,
it is always somewhere else. What we wish to know is. where
the discontented are to be found, what they are discontented
about, of what nationalities, and so on for quantity.

Before we start in our crusade, we wish to reconnoitei the
enemy's country. It is not always pleasant to interview the
disciples of Marx or the Followers of Baktmin. The perfumes
of limburger and garlic do not remind us of

"Sahoean odors from the spicy shores,
Of Aaby the blest,"

yet these are the gentlemen we wish t<> know about. Let us not
condemn them hastily. The original odor 01' the apostolic lish-
ennan was probably not thai of sanctity.

original

Schools

James Wilson Alexander MacDonald, was bom
in Steubinville, Ohio, on the 25th of August 1824. He is
known as "Wilson MacDonald", sculptor, painter, writer,
anatomist, phrenologist, rifleman and lecturer. His prin-
cipal works are colossal statues of Edward Bates. I'itz-
greene Halleck, General Custer, and colossal busts of
George Washington, Washington Irving, General Hancock
and James Paine. Among the numerous life size busts of
marble and bronze are those of Senators Benton, Charles
O'Connor, James T. Brady, Col. Ingcrsoll, and many others.

WHO ARE TO BE THE PATRI01S OE THE FUTURE?

The time is not far distant when all men and women who
hold responsible official positions in national, state or munici-
pal departments will have joined the great majority on the
other side of life. Who are to fill the places made vacant by
death? It i? a very important question!

For mote than a hundred years we preserved the inheritance
bequeathed to us by the patriots of the Revolution. Will those
who are to come after us be able to do the same for another
century? It is doubtful.

A good education, including a patriotic education for our
children, is indispensable-- the boy and girl patriot of the pres-
ent will be the man and woman patriots of the future. _ A patri-
otic education should be given to every American child, with-
out reference to sex, ape, color, sect, or place of birth.

S;oooo. Wilson MacDonald has received an
order to place a colossal bust of Abraham Lin-
coln in the Public Schools of Manhattan and
the Bronx.

Our Patriotic Societies can make no better
gift to the public than to present a colossal bust
of Washington to the local schools throughout
the country. For special prices and further de-
tails, apply to the office of The Spirit of '76.

should be taught to revere the memory of Washington and his
compatriots. They should be warned against all organizations
that are inimical to American institutions. They should be
taught that the laws and Constitution of the United States are
to them paramount to every other power, organization, king,
prince, potentate or political ruler on earth.

A patriotic education would, more than anything else, tend
to develop honest office-holders and likewise invincible sol-
diers. There is no better place to begin this patriotic education
than in those great Democratic-Republican institutions — our
public schools, and it would be difficult to find a more appro-
priate object lesson than the colossal bust of George Wash-
ington. .

MacDonald's bust of Washington is composed of plaster and
cement— indestructible— -and will last for ages. The bust, and
the bracket (upon which the bust stands), occupies just six
feet in height on any wail. It is proposed to place these busts
in every public school house in the United States, beginning
with New-York. Boston, Philadelphia and Chicago.

Patriotic citizens will be requested to procure and present
these busts to public schools in the various cities and towns.
'1 he names of the donors will, be placed in imperishable letters
on every bust, and will be seen and rend by millions of Ameri-
can boy's and girls for centuries to come.

Patriotism is the panacea for all political disorders. It will
remctit the Union: perpetuate the Republic, preserve the laws,
the principles of Declaration of Independence, and the inher-
itance won by the patriots and soldiers of ttie American Revo-
lution! , ., . , ,

There are now twenty millions of children ol school age in
this country. In a few' years they will have become men and
women. The destiny of the Republic win be in their hands.

THE ORIGINAL. MARBLE STATUE OF WASHINGTON.

This great work is in the Capitol in Richmond, Virginia. It
was erected in 1706. three years before the death of Washing-
ton. The Virginians as a matter of justice claim and own, in
fact, the statue, but the people of America claim an interest in
the statue of Washington, and so does every devotee of lib-
erty in all parts of our planet feel an interest in the statue.

We- are told by Pliny that the Cuidian Aphoclite was the
most beautiful of all the works of art which the world then con-
tained, and after a victory over its rival and twin sister, long

THE BOOK COLUMN'S SOCIAL.
By M. Winchester Adams.

It was a social, historical, political, literary gathering.
_ "The Starbucks" related "How the Twins Captured a Hes-
sian," "In the Camp of Cornwallis," "Under Colonial Colors,"
before "Marching on Niagara." "The Admiral's Aid" told of
"Border Fights and Fighters," "The American Ideas as Ex-
pounded by American Statesmen," and of "The Loyalists in the
American Revolution." "Charles Killbuck" read aloud from
''lhe Treasury of Humorous Poetry," "Sunset Songs and Other
Verses," "The Romance of an Old Fool" and "Ranch Verses."
"The True Aaron Burr," who had been reading "The Climax"
while standing under "The Pine Tree Flag," spoke of "The
'I rue History of the American Revolution." "The Builders of
the Republic" and "Memories of a hundred years" as the
"Correct Thing. "The Private Soldier Under Washington"
was enjoying a book on "New Amsterdam and Its People" and
'Bakewell's Fairy Stories."

On the library table lay John Hay's memorial address on
"William McKinley" and "Wild Rose of California."

"The Observations of Mr. Dooley" as to "The Territorial
Growth of the United States" made the "Night Before Christ-
mas" one long to be remembered. "Logan the Mingo" "With
Force and Arms" recited "The Romance of Old New England
Roof Trees," and pave a few words about "The Be>y: How to
Help Mini Succeed."

"The March of the White Guard" stopped to hear of "The
Conquest" and "Trie Man in the Street Stories." "Barbara
Ladd," who had visited "New England and Its Neighbors,"' and
had seen "Social New York Under the Georges," listened to
"The Wind in the Tree," having just finished "On the Cross"
and "The Just So Stories." "Janet Ward" sang "A Sonrr of a
Single Note" and read extracts from ' Fetters of a Self Made
Man to His Son." "The Baby's Baedeker" had been che guide
°f the evening, which was concluded by 'Rollicking Rhymes for
Youngsters" and the following patriotic items from "The Real
Diary of a Real Boy":

"Memories of a Hundred Years," by Dr. Edward Everett Hale.
The Macmilian Company, New York.

Without doubt the "Memories of a Hundred Years." by Dr.
Flale, is one of the most entertaining and interesting reminis-
cences ever written. Its wide range of personages, from John
Adams to President Roosevelt, makes it a work of national
value. Dr. Flale has been in touch with almost every man and
woman at all prominent in the country's social and political
life for the best part of a century, which, mak^s his work of un-
usual biographical interest. It would be hard to say just where
the charm of these two volumes is to be found — for, from begin-
ning to end the story flows with that ease and grace to be found
only wdiere the author lias lived, seen, or felt the story he is
telling. There is probably no man writing to-day who has
such a fund of recollections of public events and public men as
Dr. Hale. He closes his two volumes of memories by writing:

"Some library will preserve this volume, and it carries with
it mv charge to my sons" grandsons, that in 2001 one of them
shall write his Memories of the Twentieth Century." The illus-
trations number many rare and curious portraits, wood cuts
and facsimiles of interesting letters. The work is handsomely
illustrated and bound. Two volumes, cloth. Price, $5 net.
(Carriage, 40 cents.)

"New England and Its Neighbors," by Clifton Johnson, is a
glimpse of life in and near New England. The quaint language
of the people with whom the author meets is naturally por-
trayed. The work is profusely illustrated and will be a pleasing
addition to any library and of especial interest to those inter-
ested in New England. Cloth bound, cover design. Price,
$2 net.

"The Loyalists in the American Revolution," by Dr. Claude
Halstead Van Tyne.

A history of the political and social struggle between the
American Whigs and Tories. This interesting work presents

treating a phase 01 the struggle which has never been ade-
quately recognized by historians, It has been constructed from
original sources, letters, journals, etc., which no other writer
on the subject has used. It is supplied with foot note ref-
erences, and also with appendix and excellent index. It is a
book of unusual interest. Cloth bound, gilt top. Price, $.' net.

arc as refreshing and invigorating as a breath of air from the
Texan plains, where they were written. They are graceful and
the subjects varied. The volume is attractively printed, illus-
trated and bound.

SPIRIT OF '76.

JANUARY, 1905

U. S. Army, believe that it is the duty of our national
Congress to pass an Act making the wilful, or malicious,
or commercial misuse of the national colors or any pat-
tern or imitation thereof, or as a trademark or label
upon goods, wares or merchandise, or by attaching' such.
trademark or advertisement upon the national flag, a
punishable misdemeanor.

"Personally, 1 know that petitions to this effect and
resolutions to this effect, have been presented annually,
asking for federal legislation upon this subject for the
past eight years, only to be referred to a committee in
whose possession the proposed Hag bills thereafter slum-
bered. The absence of statutory law prohibiting the
misuse of the flag is more than regrettable; it is hu-
miliating. There should be a federal law to protect the
national flag from improper use or public abuse.

"I also know that, more through your efforts than
those of any one man, the following states and territory
have passed flag bills, viz.: Connecticut, Xew Hamp-
shire, Massachusetts, New York. Maine, Pennsylvania,
Vermont, Rhode Island, Michigan. Indiana, Illinois,
Wisconsin, Ohio, Iowa, Colorado, California, Oregon,
Washington, South Dakota and Arizona Territory.

"Just as I believe that this nation has a destiny to ful-
fil and that the national flag is our covenant with des-
tiny, even so do I believe that your efforts will be re-
warded by federal legislative enactment such as you have
for eight years past labored for, and then, my friend, I
will, if living, again extend to you the hand of friend-
ship and say: 'Well done, good and faithful servant of
this Republic.' "

RECALL DAYS OF " AULD LANG SYNE."

DELIGHTFUL REUNION OF MR. EDWIN WARFIELD AND HIS

PEOPLE.

{From Baltimore Herald )

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,

And never brought to mind,
Should auld acquaintance be forgot

And days of O' lang syne?

The "reunion"' yesterday at Oakdale, the ancestral es-
tate in Howard County of Mr. Edwin Warfield, was a
great success.

As announced exclusively in the Herald on Thursday,
Mr. Warm Id had scut out invitations to all of the surviv-
ing colored people who belonged to his grandfather, the
late Joshua Warfield. The gathering was plumed two
years ago, but '.'.'as postponed en account of the death of
old "Uncle Sam." who lived and lied faithful to the house
of Warfield.

Mr, Warfield located all of the survivors born at Oak-
dale and Cherry Grove — the adjoining place now tht !. )rne
of Mr. John Warfield— prior to 1S62, Fourteen ot the 70

skives that were among the possessions of Mr. Joshua
Warfield are now living, and to each a personal letter was
written by their host. Of the 14, 10 responded to the in-
vitation in person and the others were compelled to de-
cline on account of infirmities and the distance to Oakdale.
In addition there were present 32 of the descendants of the
original 70.

All of the guests met in Baltimore and took the 7.30
A. M. train from Camden Station for Woodbine Station,
where they were met by conveyances and driven over five
miles of beautiful country to Oakdale. There they were
met by their host and his family, who extended to each of
them a cordial welcome.

The visitors went at once to the "big house," and the
first official act was to call the roll. Of the 70 original
Warfield "people" 10 responded to their names.

Reminiscences were then, indulged in, and the guests —
especially the older ones — referred tenderly to the happy
.days of the past, and expressed their pleasure at return-
ing to the "big house," which some of them had not visited
before for 40 years. Thev went through the original part
of the mansion, and then inspected the addititon which is
of more modern architecture.

Refreshments were served on the lawn in front of the
old "quarters." and then a visit was made to the old
"smoke house" and other familiar buildings. In the mean-
time the true "reunion" feeling was well established, and
incidents were freely related of the "good old days." Re-
ference was made to "Christmas times," the week's holi-
day in honor of the jovous season, the exchange of visits
between those on neighboring plantations, and the many
other pleasures that the "uncles" and "aunties" declared
were greater "befo' de war" than in the present day.

Alone- about 12 o'clock- came the summons to dinner
The welcome tidings was borne bv old "Aunt Ilennv."
who. in soite of her 76 years, tooted with spirit upon the
conch shell, the notes of which were familiar to the guests
50 years ago, and sounded as the sweetset music in their
ears.

The meal was served in the kitchen with its immense
open fireplace. The familv butler, with a corps of assis-
tants, was in charge, and never before was more care
taken at Oakdale. noted for its hospitality, to cater to the
tastes of those who gathered around the festive board.

Starting off with gumbo soup and winding up with
apr>1e dumplings, ice cream and water melon, the litter
delicacy especially agreeable to the palate of every colored
person, the menu included the m<">st toothsome morsels
that man or woman could desire. Two dishes served, for
which Oakdale is iustlv famed, were fried chicken and o1d
ham. cured on the place.

Grace was said bv Charles Harridav, now of Washing-
ton, who has been efficient messenger to the commissioner
of internal revenue at the national capital since 1R69.

After dinner the guests went through the ' big house"
and viewed the familv portraits, the originals of which
were recalled with affection by "Aunt Ilennv," Harridav
and their contemporaries. An inspection was then made
of the grounds and terraced gardens. Most of the old
people, who came quite a distance to attend the "reunion."
will remain in the neighborhood a week or 10 davs, visit-
ing n latives.

Mr. and Mrs. Warfield were assisted in welcoming; their
guests bv the host's brother and sifter, Mr. Tohn Warfic! 1
and Mrs. M. Gillet Gill, and bv Mrs. WnrfWcl's mother
and sisters. Tn addition there is a house pnrtv of about

JANUARY, 1903

At the State Conference of the Daughters of the American
Revolution, held in Brooklyn in May, 1900, the •'Utility Fund
Committee" of New York State was formed by a unanimous
vote of the delegates present.

New York- having no State organization, the funds of the
committee are received only from the voluntary contributions of
Chapters and individuals. In response to a circular letter is-
sued by the committee shortly after its formation, many chap-
ters and a few members responded, giving a sufficient sum to
pay the traveling expenses of the State Regent, the printing of
her Annual Report, and also the publishing of a most interest-
ing and valuable pamphlet, "Historic Outlines," which con-
tains sketches contributed by many of the Chapters of the State
in regard to their work and local history.

At the Spring Conference of ioot, held in Saratoga, a unani-
mous rising vote of thanks was given the retiring committee,
the several members of which hail declined a re-election.

The nc_w committee, following somewhat in the path marked
out, received the support of a large majority of the Chapters
in the State. A detailed report of its work was submitted to
the Conference held in Rochester last June, a new feature of
this work having been the publishing of the "New York State
Bulletin," two numbers of which were isssued and sent to every
member of the Daughters American Revolution resident in New
York State. These bulletins contain d a complete directory of
the Chapters in the State, an outline report of the State Con-
ference, notes of the Continental Congress, and notices. This
committee has also collected all the available records of the
New York State meetings, which for lack of a permanent State
organization have never been in the custody of any one person.
The Treasurer of the fund also submitted to the June Confer-
ence a clear and detailed account of the expenditure of the
moneys intrusted to her care, showing a larger balance in the
treasury that at the beginning of the year.

The committee which served last year, .Mrs. Roger Sherman,
chairman, Mount Vernon. N. Y. ; Mis. F. J. Collier, secretary,
Hudson, N. Y.; Mrs. \\'m. Cummings, treasurer. Lawrence.
L. 1., having been continued in office, its work will be carried
en in much the same manner as before, the scope of the Bnle-
tins will, according to instructions given by the Conference,
be somewhat enlarged, and the funds necessary devoted to the
expenses of the State Regent as primarily intended in organiz-
ing the Utility Fund Committee.

Dear Sir: Will you be good enough to advise me with, refer-
ence to the enclosed notice by tellins rue wdiether there is more
than one Register being printed? It seems to me last season I
was solicited at least half a dozen different times to purchase
the Register, Sons American Revolution, and I finally came
to the conclusion that there must be two or three of them. If
there is, T cannot remember which one I subscribed for. If
you will be good enough to advise rue whether there is more
than one Register 1 will be greatlv oblieed to you. Yours
very truly, JAMES S. JUDD.

personated Gen. Washing-
ton, the little sister, the
Revolutionary Army.

Their father was an en-
thusiast and had early
taught his children to love
and be proud of their
native land, had often taken
them ovei the Encampment
Grounds, along the line of
fortifications, to the forts,
redoubts and earthworks
occupied by the Revolu-
tionary Army from Decem-
ber 17 th, 1 7 7 7 to June
iSth, 1778. He taught
them that this Encampment
Ground was sacred soil, the
birthplace of American
Freedom and his children,
trained on the traditions of
the patriots, were not un-
worthy of them, and their
tiny acorn of patriotism has
now grown into a mighty
oak of liberty, altogether
beautiful and great, and is
stretching its boughs into
all lands and climes,

The youthful General
Washington, his life's war-
fare ended, was summoned
early to that land of eternal
liberty prepared for the

sons of God'

Mary E. Thropp ('one, was the oldest daughter of
Isaiah and Anna V. Thropp at the time of his demise, was
the oldest inhabitant of Valley Forge, and throughout his
life was devoted to the interests of the historic village. He
early imbued his children with an intense admiration for
their native place by familiarizing them with the mose inter-
esting spots occupied by General Washington and his army.
The little band of Thropps were constantly sent to show
tourists the< onspicuous places, and they took a never failing
delight in pointing out the entrenchments, Washington's
headquarters, the foundation of the t-,vo forts, etc., etc."

Miss Thropp married the Hon. Andrew Cone, twice
Consul of the United States at brazil. She accompanied
her husband and whilst there she wrote her "Valley Forge
Centennial Poem". After her return to her native land, am;.
the death of her husband, she resumed her writing in prose
verse for Valley Forge.. Joined by her si-ter, Miss Amelia
Thropp, also an able and beautiful writer for the press, these
two ladies labored long and hard, with untiring and unselfish
devotion to the cause, without a thought of reward, excepi
what comes from a sense of duty faithfully done, and suc-
ceeded at length in enlisting the sympathy of the Public,
which now bids fair to realize their fondest hope-., in a suit-
able recognition of their beloved native villaee, historic
Valley Forge.

Some of Mrs. Cone's articles written for the cause are :

blue-eyed boy, with a bright, handsome face. Although a
manly, active boy, the leadei amongst his comrades in e
kind of sport, he loved best to talk with his little sister Marv
about Washington and his army, and what a great thii

Strange that these two
children should have been
destined to wield such an
influence for the future re-
nown of Valley Forge, for
the "Revolutionary Army"
still lives, and, inspired by
her enthuiastic brother, de-
termined in her school-girl
days to write for their be-
loved Valley Forge, and ! 1 .
articles were welcomed by
the leadihg press of the
country, "bird in the sol-
titude singing", was the very
first to call attention to the
neglected spot. The wrong,
the ingratitude of their
apathy, began to dawn up-
on the American people,
and men said something
must b e done to rescue
Valley Forge from its un-
merited oblivion, but no
one thought it. incumbent
on himself to begin the
work. In consequence oi
the tardiness of the Public,
Mrs. Cone formed the Val-
ley Forge Monumental As-
sociation to secure the er-
rection of a monument to
the imortal dead of Valley
Forge.

PLAN OK ENCAMPMKN1 .VI VALLEY FORGE,

THE SENTINEL OF VALLEY FORGE.
By Mrs. M. E. Thropp Cone.
"Faithful Unto Death."
Night darkened o'i.t fhcii camp, a bitter night in winter.
Behind the woods had .-link the dull, red, clouded sun.
Scarce crimsoning in it:, departing glow the mountains
That echoed to the booming 01 the evening gun.
Mount Joy'; encampment nmv is hushed and lonely,
A winding sheet of snow, o'er all the upland spread.
Cairn, starry eyes gaze from the moonless heaven,
Orion, Sirius, Mars, the tireless watch o'crhead.
The wcarj army bleeps, the camp is still and lonely,
'.in the !■ ug line? ■■:' huts, on -.words, on lances.
And •m the pyramid? of muskets stacked around
Only the fitful light of dying watch-tin dances.
Above the cold, rclenlle*.- sky. and wide and white below
The solitary f:e!d. one figure moving to and fro,

''This is Hi', heat,'' t h ■ sen! m. 1 sr id.

With shouldered musl-c1 uul re^oluie tread,

As he stepped away in his martial grnce,

— ] The bright locks framing his handsome fr.ee:

"Heimgang," the password stern Steuben gave,
"The Briton that crosses this beat will be brave,
No other Paoli, my Comrades, dread.
Tl ey'll murder you only when I am dead,
What matter if ionesome as Jacob to-night,
Visions like Jacob's bright, shall visit me;
Then come the wild weather, come sleet or come snow
We'll stand by our country however it blow."

Long hours of cold intense. Brave guard foi that poor army.

Tie feels his host in him invincible, forlorn,

Too great to brood o'er Braudywine and Germantown,

Implores his Grid to hasten Freedom's blessed morn,

'I he drear encampment now is wierd and lonely,

Dead are the fires, the midnight hour has come —

What God-like strength of soul grows in the icy torture

With sense of utmost duty firmly, nobly done!

But now comes creeping through the ghostly silence,

A foe unseen, with stealthy step and bated breath;

Creeping in shadow of the unsuspecting soldier,

His dread pursuer gains, the c [ueror, Death.

ENTRENCHMENT, MOUNT JOV.
Arouse! awake, he cries, the sentry must not sleep —
O'er all his drowsiness, wh'at lovely pictures creep!
The lowly, white-walled home in sea of prairie green,
Afar the skirting woods, beyond the river's sheen,
Close by the casement reads my noble, white haired sire,
The dear old mother listening sits knitting by the tire.
Between, my orphan girl, her shining needle plies,
Lifting anon to each, her shy, sweet, serious eyes.
My Darling, when the conflict's o'er, thou'lt welcome me with

joy,
For only when our Freedom's won thou'lt see thy soldier hoy.
Thank God, they cannot see him now, half frozen, tortured, ill,
Pacing his weary, ceaseless round on this inclement hill

Still flow fair visions round him, such as keep
Watch, faithful Sentinel, o'er thy freezing sleep.
Beauty was there with Spring's fresh roses crowned,
Her curls loose floating and her zone unbound.
Her white feet glancing in the pure moonlight,
Her sweet voice singing to the listening night.
Hither descending with bright wings unfurled,
Came Hope triumphant, front a fairer world.
And mighty Strength, on massive club reclined,
And Joy, whose bounding feet outstrip the wind.
And hark! and hark! Fame's trumpet blast,
As round and on a shadowy pageant past.

11,65; Lydia 1674 ; and he had been adm. freeman 1654.

Philip Knh.ht, Charlestown, had wife Margery,
children Jonathan, Philip, Rebecca, Eliz., and Mary,
who, at his death were of the ages respect, about 26.
23, 17, 13, and 11 ; but he had removed long before to
Topsfield, or near it, and died 1668.

Richard Knight, Newbury, prob. younger brother
of the first John, came with him from Southampton in
the James, 1635, called in the custom house record tailor
of Romsey, in Hauls; married, says Coffin, Agnes Com-
ity, who died 1679; had Rebecca, born 1643; Sarah
1648; Ann; and Eli/. He was sworn freeman 1636, was
deacon, and died 1683, aged Si.

Richard Knight, Weymouth, 1637. mentioned by
Winthrop, II., 348; may be he who was recorded an
inhab. of Boston early in 1642, a slater, being adm. of
the church, and perhaps son of a widow Susan; freeman
1642; by wife Dinah had Samuel 1643, died soon; Jo-
seph, 1645 ; and by wife Joanna had Joanna 1653; James
1655 ; but it may be very difficult to distinguish him from
others of the name.

Richard Knight, Hampton, perhaps Portsmouth.
1643, was perhaps of Dover, 1659, or before 166S, of
Boston, a merchant.

Richard Knight, Boston, by wife Joanna had James,
who died 1652; Sarah 1656: and Mary 1659.

Richard Knight, Newport, 1648, next year chosen
Gen. Sergent, whatever that may mean, and many years
bought land of Indians on the Contin. 1665 in conjunct,
with Henry Hall, of Westerly. He had eldest son John,
of Norwich, as from law papers Savage learns; and this
may impl) that he had other children.

Richard Knight, Boston, 1673, bricklayer, was
called to serve in Philips' war on Conn, river in Capt.
Turner's comp. Perhaps he married Sarah Kimball,
and had daughter Eliz., to whom her uncle, John Kim-
hall, gave estate. This Richard was bred a carver, but
man ied a wife of superior mind, Sarah, daughter of
Thomas Kemble, or Kimball, of Charlestown.

Robert Knight, Hampton, 1640, removed to Bos-
ton, had. by first wife, Samuel, horn 1642, who prob.
died young. He married Ann, the young widow of
Thomas Cromwell, the rich privateersman, early in
1650, and may therefore have spent a year or more in
Maine, but had Edward, born 1652; and Martha 1653;
besides James, in T654, who prob. died soon; and he
died (655.

Robert Knight, Marblehead, 1648. may be he who
died at Cambridge 1652: but nothing mure is known.

Robert K.vigiit, Kitterv, T647, removed to York,

died 1089; and Ebenezer IO94.

Thomas Knight, Salem. 1661, a mason, perhaps son

of Walter.

Tunv Knight, Newport, 1638.

Walter Knight, Salem, 1020, had been here in 1022,
and is now sent over by the Dorchester people to
strengthen Conant ; perhaps was of Duxbury 1638, and
m lh53 giving evidence about something that occurred
in 1622, perhaps only hearsay; he called his age 66.

William Knight, Salem, a mason, had grant of land
1637, yet seems rather to belong of Lynn; freeman
1638; had John, Ann, Francis, Hannah., all by 2nd wife,
Eliz. Jacob, Daniel, Eliz. and Mary, and died 1050.
From Lewis was this account derived from Parmer; yet
there is evidence that lie had John and Francis, Joanna,
and Mary only, all brought from England, and that the
sons both went home, and there Francis died without
issue; but John, after serving the parliam. cause in the
civil war, obtained possession of estate in England that
was his father's, and died in that country.

William Knight, Topsfield, came, perhaps, in 1638,
or else not before 1639, in which year he had grant of
200 acres at Ipswich.

hoped that the National Society may keep more in touch with

society enclosing a supply of these forms providing for the
'■'How iug informal ion :

mittees, number of members elected, number of members de-
miltcd or deceased, total membership.

Space is provided for statements of the general work of the
societies and of their committees, and also for suggestion; for
the good of the societies. In this way it is hoped that the

Honorable Edwin Warfield.

.Mr Dear Sir: Your leter reached me yesterday with the
beautifully illuminated copy of the resolutions passed by your
society as a last tribute to my dear husband's memory.

1 deeply appreciate your own kind words of sympathy, as
well as this token of high esteem from the patriotic society he
loved and helped to found.

I am deeply touched and would wish conveyed through you
my heartfelt appreciation.

His was ever a high, unselfish, patriotic spirit which seemed
to have descended, in all its richness, from his ancestors, who
were so ready in helping colony and country.

1 hope his boys have inherited his noble spirit and in time
may take their places in the Societ) of the Sons of the Ameri-
can Revolution and be his worthy representatives.
Very sincerely,

hotel there, satisfactory arrangements and terms could be made,
;is the hotel people would he very glad to have the society
there, and no doubt reduced fares on all railroads could be
obtained.

Mr. Logan offeree! a motion that the next annual Congress
|.; held by the national society, under tin management of the
rational society and at its expense, and that the President-
general be authorized to selecl a place for holding it, making
...•eh arrangements as shall seem best in his judgment. This
motion v. as seconded by Gen, Applcton.

Judge Beardslcy then staled that he had an invitation from
(lie Connecticut Society for the next annual Congress and hoped
it would be accepted; that it realize! and appreciated the cour-
(• ;ies that had been extended the Connecticut delegates, and
that before any changes were made the Connecticut Society be
allowed to entertain the national society in New Haven; that
a special meeting of the Board of Managers was held, at which
seventeen members out of Iwenty-one were present, and that
they wanted to entertain the national society in the old way.

Judge Whitehead moved that Mr. Logan's motion be laid on
the table, and offered the motion that the invitation of the
Connecticut Society be accepted. President-general W.u field
staled that the society appreciated the earnestness and the sin-
cerity of the imitation from Connecticut, and did not see how
it could be refused.

Mr. Whitehead's motion was seconded by Mr. Logan and
the motion carried, with the request that Judge Beardsley con-
vey to the Connecticut Society the acceptance of its invitation,
and the National Society's appreciation of it.

Gen. Thos. M. .Anderson, Chairman of the Educational Com-
mittee, who was present, made a verbal report of the work of
Ins committee, in substance, as follows: "The Committee held
an informal meeting earlier in the day and it was the consensus
of opinion thai a very serious proposition 'was before it. The
same trouble existed that always exists in formulating plans
for definite action. We have had a great deal of correspondence
and have given up the idea of reforming the anarchists. One
suggestion was to publish in the language of these people book-
lets containing information as to what they might expect in
dm county. During the voyage ovei they have opportunity
to read and learn about America, and we could place these
books in their hands before they depart for America. We
want to impress upon the immigrants that their natural preju-
dices do not apply to our government; that any grievances that
they might have can be removed by other means than that of
force. Where there are large settlements of foreigners, address
them in meetings or supply them with this literature. In this
way we feel that we would be moving in the right direction.
We desire to submit this plan to the National Society for its
approval. A great many other patriotic societies will join whh
us, but we want to be the organizers of the movement. Then
we can take in the Sons of the Revolution, the Daughters of
the American Revolution, and the Loyal Legion and the Grand
Army of the Republic (three or four hundred thousand"), and
when the time come- we can appeal to the Masons as a patri-
otic society. We must, however, have public sentiment before
laws can be passed, and then public sentiment to enforce the
laws." On motion the report was accepted.

The report of the Chairman of the McKinley Memorial Com-
mittee follows:

Cleveland, December 13. 1902.
Chas. W. Haskins, Secretary-general, 30 Broad street. New
York City.
Dear Sir and Compatriot: Tn answer to your telegram asking
for report for the meeting of the Board of Mar. igcrs, tn be he'd
in New York on the 16th. would say that T can only report
progress on the matter of the McKinley Memorial.

The work is in the hands of Tiffany & Co., N'ew York, and
1 expect it to be ready by the 15th of January,

You will confer a favot by suggesting to the President-gen-
eral that he appoint Nathan Warren of Boston a member of
the Committee for Massachusetts in place of the Rev. Carbon
A. Staples, resigned, and Gen. Thomas M. Anderson to repre-
sent Oregon, in place 01 the Hon. Ceo, H. Williams, from
whom I have been unable to receive anv response-
Notice of arrangements for presentation will be sent out to

as they are completed. Respectful'.'.'.

JAMA'S M. RICH -\RDSON,

Chairman.

judge Whitehead stated that the memorial had been prepared
and was in the lands of Tiffany & Co, arrangements having
also been made with that firm for an appropriate casket for
the memorial. On motion, the report was accented and or-
dered placed on file The President-genera! appointed Nathan
Warren of Massachusetts a member of the Committee from

Massachusetts, in place of the Rev. Carlton Staples, resigned,
and Gen. Thomas M. Anderson to represent Oregon hi tin
place of the Hon, Geo. II. Williams, from whom the i nan

The next report read was that from the Chairman ;' the
Committee on the erection of a suitable memorial at the tomb
of the martyrs on Long Island. Jt is as follows:

Baltimore, Md., December 15,
'Jo the President-general and Executive Committee, National
Society Sons of the .American Revolution.
Gentlemen: The Committee appointed |,v the Nation?.] Con-
gress 1 'j aid in the erection of the Tomb of the Martvrs, re-
ports satisfactory progress. The 1 nited States Congres has
passed, and the {'resident has approved o\ an appropriation of
$100,000.

The Chairman of the Committee will visit New York imme-
diately after the first of January to consult with the Empire
State Society and ihe Daughters of the .American Revolution,
which bodies are named in the resolution appointing our C >m-
mittee. Severe sickness in the Chairman's family has pre
vented this action at an earlier date.

Very respectfully submitted,

WM. RIDGELY GRIFFITH.

Chairman.
On motion, it was accepted ami ordered placed on file.
The next matter brought before the Board was that of the
proposed construction, by the Jefferson Memorial Association,
of which Gen. Fitzhugh Lee is President, of a memorial avenue
to connect Monticello. the home of Jefferson, with the adopted
child of his old age, the University of Virginia. Correspond-
ence between President-general Warfield and Gen. Lee was
read, as follows:

Charlottesville, Va., November 26. 1902.
Honorable Edwin Warfield, President-general National S ciety.
S. A. R., Baltimore, Md.
Mr Dear Sir: It cave me great pleasure to be present at the'
recent annua! banquet of the Sons of the American Revolution
in Baltimore, and to meet gentlemen who belong to an oreler
organized for the purpose of preserving the memory and deeds
of the patriots who transferred power from king to people, and
gave to them American liberty

You may recollect that in response to the complimentary call
of those present 1 spoke of Thomas Jefferson, mentioning the
fact that he had requested that on his tomb should be inscribed
only, "Here lies Thomas Jefferson, author of the Declaration
of Independence, and of the Statute of Virginia for Religious
Freedom and Lather of the University of Virginia," and yet
he had been first Secretary of State in Washington's rabinet,
President of the United States for eight years. Governor of
the Stale, besides having filled other most important positions.
I am president of the Jefferson Memorial Association, or-
ganized for the construction of a splendid memorial avenue to
connect Monticello, the home of Jefferson, with the adopted
child of his old age. the University of Virginia.

This boulevard will be three miles long and will re iuce the
grade from sixteen feet in the one hundred to four feet, thus
facilitating the journey to and largely increase the numi ers o!
visitors to historic Monticello. and in that way contributing
to the diffusion of a larger decree of patriotism throughout the
land. Jefferson's renown is not confined to am' locality but co-
extensive within the limits of the Republic.

It was decided, therefore, to ask the Sons of the American
Revolution to assist the Jefferson Memorial Road Association
to raise ike tbirtv thousand dollars required to accomplish the
great object in view.

1 he Daughters nf the American Revolution have consented
to help in preserving and protecting in this way the memory
of this distinguished statesman.

We propose to erect at each end of this memorial avenue an
arch upon which will be written "Erected by the Sons and
Daughters of the \nicriean Revolution in Commemoration of
the Name' and Lame' of Thomas Jefferson, the Author of the
Declaration of Independence.''

The American Republic will thus see a practical i'h'.st ration
.,;' the lu\i of the country of the Sons and Daughters of the
American Re\ Ci lion.

I have the honor to request that you will enlist tl • aid and
sympathy of the members' of the Nali ma! Society, nvei which
you so wortbih pre ide. md 1 am, very respectfully

Yo'ir obedient servant,

F>EV EDWARD EVERETT MALE says if he
|\ were a millionaire he would buy a large tract

of land near Boston, divide it into four acre
lots, build a small house on each lot, and present them
to the poor at a nominal rental, and at the end of ten
years give them the houses."

Edward Everett Hale, a millionaire, would not be
Edward Everett Hale as the world now knows and loves
him. There is no man living to my knowledge who has
followed so closely, in his every-day life, the footsteps
of the Saviour, and when he departs hence (which we
hope will not be for some time), for his reward through
eternity I will have been paid a hundred fold for this
token of esteem, if he docs but recognize me as his
friend on the other shore, and if I should not land where
he will (but outside the gates), I know him to be noble
enough to give me his hand in passing to the better
place.

Dollars cannot pay for this write-up, as it is from a
true conviction of a great man's worth.

T I OW many people know of the great educational

X j work of the Board of Education through its

course of free lectures for the people.

During seven months of the year numerous Public
Schools in Greater New York are opened certain even-
ings of the week for the people of the neighborhood
• to attend a course of lectures. These lectures range
from music to anatomy and from history to science and
attract a large attendance. The 58 places in Manhat-
tan and the Bronx for the season of 1901 to 1002 were
attended by 585,90s people; for the season of 1902 to
1903 all of Greater New York was put under the super-
vision of Dr. Henry M. Leipziger, and the new in-
centive given by him has made the movement popular.
This great work is but in its infancy, as other munici-
palities arc watching with interest the success of the
plan under Dr. Leipziger, and are arranging for similar
courses.

The people who arc thus benefited have nothing but
praise Tor a Board of Education that gives them so
groat a gift. The men who lecture enter into the spirit
"f the thine1, and do their best, as thev know that their
audiences are critical and will have none but the best,

"Colonial Life Among the Puritans" has been given
thirty-two times 011 this course, and the experiences
gained by the speaker has been a good school for him.
llis first appearance was at a school on Hudson street

where he appeared in full evening dress much to the
aggrivation of the superintendent who introduced him
by saying that much more able lecturers had appeared
on the course who did not use illustrations. His griev-
ance was that many people would come into the lecture-
room, and not seeing a screen for pictures would go
out and attend an illustrated lecture elsewhere. On
another occasion the superintendent put the speaker at
his ease by telling the audience that he had found a lot
of old shoes and potatoes which had been surreptiti-
ously brought in with which to encore the lecturer.

All kinds and conditions have attended the talks, and
the buffeted frequenter of the Bowery has come to the
lecturer with tears in his eyes, and told him the pictures
brought back memories of his old life. Resolutions
have been given by aristocratic societies for the talk,
but the endorsement most thought of is erne that was
overheard by a friend who heard an old Irishman saw
'"This is the first of these things I have ever attended,
but 1 heard this mon was a dom fine lecturer."

'"Colonial Life Among the Puritans," a picture talk,
has be en delivered upwards of fifty times, and given
great pleasure to many thousands who have seen it.
As the traveling expenses for this production at any
distance from New York are so large that chapter's
could not use it at a profit, arrangements have been
made to send the lantern slides and. manuscript of the
talk \vith instruction how to deliver it, and suggestions
for its musical parts, to places where an enjovable en-
tertainment is desired for a nominal price. Slides to
give the talk a local interest can be added if desired.

ment for a friend. My application to the Legislature
is for permission to dispose of property for payment in
a which way, bringing a. fair price for it, may pay my
debts, and leaving a living for mvself in mv old age, and
leave something for my family. Their consent is neces-
sary, it will injure no man, but I refer you to my grand-
son, and few sessions pass without similar exercises of
the same power, in their discretion, but I refer you to
my grandson for particular explanations. ... It
is almost a question of life or death.

TIP JEFFERSON.

II is request was evidently unsuccessful or delayed,
judging from the following letter of later date:

Monticello, February 7, '26.

1 had hoped the length and character of my services
might have prevented the fear of the legislature of the
indulgence asked hieing quoted as a precedent in future
cases, hut I find no fault with their strict adherence to
a rule generally useful, alt ho' relaxable in some cases
under their discretion, of which the\ arc the proper
judges.

If it can lie yielded in my case, 1 can save the house
e)f Monticello and a farm adjoining to end my days in,
and bury mv hi mcs.

If not, I must sell house and all here, and carry my
family to Bedford, where 1 have not even a log hut to
put my head into.

In any case 1 wish nothing from the Treasury. The
pecuniary compensations 1 have received for my service
from time to time have been fulh to mv own satisfac-
tion. Til. JEFFERSON.

Pluming their pride with gay parade;
They thought the freeman's cause was lost

Whether or not the American race is going to. the wall, tilt
National Society of the Daughters of the American revolution
is prospering— as the attendance and proceedings at the "con-
gress of the order at Washington abundantly prove. The
membership of this distinguished body of American women, in
the win- mi' every one ot whom rims the blood of the Revo hi
Hon, 1- ah >nt 35.000. Five hundred chapters of it exist in forty
five Stales and Territories. Every chapter commemorates ,,
great Revolutionary name or event. Every member of the
35,000 must be descended from an ancestor who, with unfailing
loyally, tendered materia! aid to the cause of independence as a
recognized patriot.
^ fhirty-five thousand chosen women, scattered over the whole
L'nited Slates, constitute a magnificent leaven for the lump of
American citizenship that is to be. The names of many women
promincm in the councils of ihis order tell an eloquent story
of what is some iimc to he in this country. Some of these
names arc Irish, some are German, some arc French, some
even are Spanish and Italian. The women descendants of Rev-
olutionary ancestors prove particularly attractive to the more
recent comers or their sons. And while many of the younger
members of the society are the daughters on one side of moth-
ers or fathers of Revolutionary stock, they have received from
the other side a current from the river of good red blood which
set into the country through Castle Garden. All this blood is
some time- to be absorbed completely in the American stream
Membership in these patriotic societies is extremely popular
among the women of the country. There are, for instance,
more than three times as many organized Daughters of the
American. Revolution as there are Sons, though the male de-
scendants must be equally numerous with the daughters. Wom-
en 01 the present day possess the virtues of patriotism and of
legitimate pride of blood in at least as large a measure as men
possess them. Moreover, women often have more time than
men have for cultivating the relation which should exist among
those who have common objects and sentiments.

Hie country will wish still more members and still greater
success to the Society of the Daughters of the American Revo-
lution. It has great work to do in keeping very much alive the
spirit of '76.— Mail and Express, New York.

Owing to Mrs. Donald McLean's generosity, the congress
was more harmonious than in preceding- years. Mrs. Fair-
oanks is a just, a tactful and a popular presiding officer. The
cost of the congress was over $6,000. There were 1,000 dele-
gates and alternates present, and, making the very low estimate
01 $rco as the average expenses, the amount is $100,000 for their
attendance. The total result of this great expenditure was rais-
ing a h'ag, receiving contributions for Continental Hall, electing
officers, passing lour amendments and attending twenty recep-
tions.

The running expense, of the organization, according to the
head quarter, report, are about $29,000 per annum. The ex-
penses of the magazine above receipts are over $4,000.'- The
total number of members admitted during the twelve years is
given as 42.643. About 5,000 are reported as in arrears and
2.720 a- having resigned. 1 he whole number of whom dues can

that amount on hand toward the building. It will be a splen-
did monument to the patriotism, persistence and zcalotisness
of women. With such an illustration of these, a great deal
might lie forgiven these annual congresses which do so much
to lower the ideals <>i womanhood that the endless ton ..
sacrifice ol other women have developed.

'I lie Twelfth Continental Congress, Daughters of the Ameri-
can Revolution, adjourned finally at 12.40 o'clock. Just before
the final motion to adjourn was made, .Mrs. Charles \V. Fair-
banks, president general of the society, appointed a committee
of five, to winch will be referred all questions of importance,
including disputes between chapters, which will act as a final
board of arbitration. '1 his has been sought by the congress
foi the past lew years. At the morning session the date of
meeting of the congress was changed, after considerable oppo-
sition, from the week of February 22 to the week in which the
;oth of April falls.

The appointment c>f the committee, which is composed o;
.Mrs. Holcombe, of Connecticut, chairman; Mrs. Morgan, en
Georgia; Mrs. Coleman, of Illinois; Mrs. Fox, of Michigan,
and Mrs. Murphy, of Ohio, to act as an arbiter of disputes, was
brought about at the suggestion of Mrs. .McLean.

Mrs. S. V. White, of Brooklyn, chairman of the Prison Ship
Martyrs' Committee, of the Daughters of the American Revo-
lution, in her report to the Continental Congress of the so-
ciety, in progress in Washington, asked for a contribution of
one dollar for every member of the D. A. R. There are 36,980
Daughters, all told, so that this would make a handsome addi-
tion u- the sum already collected tor the monument. Large
sized contributions have been received lately from many sources.
including one from James R. Howe, and another from John
Gibb, both of Brooklyn. The Empire State Society, Sons of
the American Revolution, have contributed $i",ooo. Stewart L
Woodford, who is much interested, recently wrote tc Mrs
vYhile, congratulating her on the fact that her faith has not
been in vain, and that the project for which she has been earn-
estly working since 1895, will now certainly be consummated.
Altogether, the way matters have progressed with the work of
Mrs. White's committee during the past year is very encour-
aging.

"'\\ hat we want now," said Mrs. White, "is contributions
front all creation till we have enough."

The filth annual meeting of the Silver Bow Chapter was held
at the home of Mrs. C. II. Moore 011 Friday afternoon, Decem-
ber 19 During the year ten regular meetings were held, and
Wc listened to several excellent papers on colonial history
After the business and literary part of the meetings, refresh-
ments and a social time followed.

In order to foster the spirit of patriotism and encourage his-
torical study, an historical contest has been arranged to take
place on Friday afternoon, February 20. The contest is open
tn all the pupiA of the Butte High School and a prize of five
dollars, or its equivalent, 1-. to be given to each of two classes,
the buys constituting one class and the girls the other. The
subjects assigned ate (i) ''Nathaniel Greene," (2) "Influence
of the American Revolution on Universal Freedom," (3) a
story, the title to be ui the pupil's own selection, but one that
shall bring out some incident or event that occurred in the
colonies previous to 1770.

We have had the pleasure of entertaining Mrs. Robert W.
Carroll of the Cincinnati Chapter, Cincinnati; Mrs. Caspar of

Hannah Caldwell Chapter, Davenport, la. The ladies gave ver\
refreshing and enthusing talks on the work of their respective
chapters. We wish we might have many such guest-.. Thc\
certainly bring us into closer relation with the other chapters
of the Society and belli us to put forth more effort to keep to
the standards affixed by us.

SPIRIT OF '76

MARCH, 1 50-

TH E DESIRE.*

*Thc Desire was the first Colonial vessel to cross the Atlan-
tic; she was built at Marblchead in 1636, from which place she
set sail tor England in the mouth of .May of the same year.
The departure was made under protest of a numbei of the
colonists, who predicted disaster. Nevertheless, she made the
tii|i successfully, returning in the autumn.

"I long to sec my native land,

To press again old Plymouth's strand,
To grasp once more my mother's hand,

1 In n sat! away:
And with fond hopes return once more

With sweeter mem'rics than before,
And with my mother greet the shore

Of Massachusetts Bay."

In sixteen hundred thirty-six,

(The dale is given but to fi.v
A milestone, that you may not mix

ilie great events of history.)
In 1636 Jt say,

A ne'ei ■ to -bc-forgctlen day,
Brought out on Massachusetts Bay

A wonder and a mystery.

"No jeers or fears shall aught avail.

In spite of tempest-sweeping gale,
I'll steer her out and hoist the sail

Once mote for Wight."
The blessings and good-byes were said.

The ship was loosed, the sails were spread,
And 'yowl the rocks of Marblchead

She passed from sight.

The day had scarce hung out Ids sign

Above the air and water line
T11 brighten up the shady brine

'J hat sable night was hiding,
When lo! and laws! and my! There lay

A mystery, though plain as day;
For there on Massachusetts Bay

A brand new ship was riding.

And so the days and weeks passed on,

And higher rose the summer sun,
And daily some one muttered, "gone,'

Ami smote his breast.
But hi, three thousand miles away,

At dawning of a summer day,
Hove into sight on Plymouth Bay

A vessel from the west.

No product that of Old John Bull!

The bowsprit, yard-arm, mast, and hull,
Jn fact this boat, this boat in full,

Was honie-nu.de, top and bottom.
'Twas ma.de, as everybody knew.

Of pine trees and of oak which grew
The other side of Deep Bayou,

For that is where they got 'em.

The Plymouth boys stood round in awe;

The Plymouth sailors wondTing saw
With, ''By m\ trade'" and "Zounds!" and "Law!

"How mighty queer!"
But still they wonder; still they stand.

The captain leaps upon the land,
An old friend grasps him by the hand —

"What brought you here?"

But no one thought the ship was done,

Nor that 'twould be just such a one;
Some thought it wasn't yet begun

Up there, ten miles away.
But nevertheless upon the night

Before the day of which 1 write
This gallant, home-made water-sprite

Met Massachusetts Bay.

They didn't build her "long and deep,"

To cut the wave with "scimitar sweep,
But made her rather to duck and leap

Whene'er a storm was brewing.
They built her low and short and wide

Willi bottom Hat as a plate beside —
They didn't mean to stick when the tide

The waning moon was pursuing.

"'Twas my desire " "Your Desire!

Taws! Zounds! Let's step a little nigher,
For by my trade, you've got a river,

A speeder all the same!"
The captain smiled and bit his lip —

"No, Joe, I didn't mean the ship.
But ere she takes her homeward trip

Desire shall be her name."

" 'Twas my desire to shake your hand

Again on dear old Plymouth's strand
That 1 have left my new found land

Across the sea;
And yet 'twas not for this alone.

But something better still 1 own —
My mother waits in Plymouth Town

To sail with me."

And there, as 1 said, at the early dawn,

Majestically frowning on
The fishers' boats, like a great proud swan

On a flock of devil-divers,
With gentle sway and stately dip

Lay tin- aforesaid wonderful ship
Built" for the purpose of making a trip

Now made by twin screw drivers.

The summer passed with all her train,

And autumn with her sleet and rain
And chilly winds hail come again,

When lo, one day,
A stormy day when ocean's roar

Swelled loud upon his rugged shore,
The lost ship hove in sight once more

On Massachusetts Raw

In every town there are women and men

Who think, what can be. must have been;
This statement's no truer now than when

'I In >' e colonists woke that day
To see the ship with towering mast,

A masterpiece from first to last.
Lie ai the (kick with anchor cast

In Massachusetts Bay

At first they cried, "A splendid ship!"

Bui later passed from lip to lip, _
"She'll never stand to make the- trip,

That much 1 1 now."
But still the capfain vowed and swore,

"As I have crossed the main before,
I'll run this -hit) to England's shore

Or down we'll go."

With binding mast and bellied sail,

With swell of water in her trail,
And reeling, veering in the gale

They saw her come.
No battered, shattered wreck, instead

\\ ith yard and main and top-ail spread,

son Cone, presided. Resolutions of respect for the memory of
Gen. F. P. Earle, secretary genera!, were adopted. A letter

Hall, delivered an illustrated historical address on "The World's
Race for a Continent,'' describing the events leading up to the

EAST SIDE LECTURES.

The experimental lectures in Yiddish and Italian on the East
Side have proved so successful that they are to be continued
every Sunday afternoon until May J at least.

The interest in the Yiddish lecture last Sunday was so marked
that Dr. Henry M. Leipziger, the supervisor, has directed that
Public School 109, in Ninety-ninth street between Second and
Third avenues, be opened this afternoon. The lecture will lie-
on "American Citizenship,'"' and there is to be instrumental
music.

This addition will give three Yiddish and three Italian lec-
tures each Sunday on topics selected expressly to educate for-
eigners in civic duties.

Another innovation in the free lecture system will be the
opening of a Sunday evening course in Brooklyn devoted to
literature. A lecture wili be given as a test in Public School
132 at Manhattan avenue and Conselyea street by Clara Connor.

In the Peters genealogy at the Lenox Library there is a
statement to fhe effect that Dr. Charles Peters' daughter mar-
ried Lieutenant James Willis of the Revolutionary War, 1776.
and that the author could find no trace of this pair. As I am a
lineal descendant of Lieutenant James Willis and his wife, Mary
Peters, and we have in our possession the old Bible holding
lecords of them, 1 would be very glad to give any one informa-
tion about them that the Bible contains who may desire it. or,
if you care to make use of it, wili send it to you. 1 was asked
about a year ago to write it out for the Lenox Library, to be
placed in the Peters genealogy (author Miss Flint). When 1
get the time I intend to do so.

Dear Sir: While traveling in the Western States this summer
I came across a copj of your magazine and noting that it v. .-
devoted to the origin of American independence, the several
societies thai sprung therefrom, and the propagation of the
spirit that won that independence, 1 was led to take note of your
address for a reason that 1 will now explain

First. I may say that 1 am thoroughly British, but with a
warm friendl\ feeling for the United States, and only keen
admiration for the fine manhood thai won her liberty.

1 have always been a collector of curios of all kinds, in an
amateur way. and have in my possession now a curio that
played an important pari in America,' history.

It is a piece of tea that was thrown into Boston harbor in
~>773 by the taxed Boslonians, an almost unique relic of the
Boston Tea Parly.

1 will not take up your valuable time by a lengthy explanation
of how it came into my possession. Suffice it to say that it was
for >\-ar> in one of the first families of Massachusetts

While satisfied myself as to its authenticity, I would be
obliged if von could furnish me with any information (either
by letter or through your journal) regarding the situation of
vessels in the harbor at the time and form in which the tea was
brought into the colonies.

Being absolutely out of touch with your paper. I would fee!
obliged if you would send me a copy— that is, if you answer
inquiries in that way — and lei me know your subscription
charges.

My Dear Sir and Compatriot : I have the honor to acknowl-
edge the receipt of your several Utters in regard to the Na-
tional Register, S. A. R., and I had hoped that I would be
spared the unpleasant duty of declining the same. You will
recall the fact that, last summer, just before my departure for
my summer trip, I wrote you and asked that you hold the booh
until you heard from me further. Some weeks since I received
a Kttcr from you saying that it had been sent C. O. 1)., and 1
was unable to notify you not to send it, as it was here almost
as soon as your letter. After writing you in the summer 1
had the opportunity of examining the Register in the hands of
a friend of mine, and found it full of typographical errors, and
in the list of the Kentucky Society several names left out; of
old members, who were and always had been in good standing,
names misspelled, etc. And there was no index to the book,
so that if it was desired to find any name it would be a matter
of chance if it weie found in a day's search. If there were an
index to the hook the other defects might be overlooked, but,
as it is. it has little or no value to me, so I decline to take it. I
am sorry this is so, for 1 had anticipated much pleasure in own-
ing the book. Hoping that in the future these mistakes may
not occur, I am, very respectfully vours,

SOCIETY OF MAYFLOWER DESCENDANTS IN THE
STATE OF NEW YORK.

New York, May 23, 1000.

Mr. Louis H, Cornish,
Dear Sisi:—

At the regular meeting of the Society of Mayflower Descendant?,
held at Delmonico's last evening, it was "RESOLVED that the thanks
of the members be extended to Mr. Louis H. Cornish, for the interest-
ing Illustrated lecture with which he had entertained them."
Yours respectfully,

Jeremiah Richards, Secretary.

Louis H. Cornish of New York, Editor of "The Spirit of '70"
lectured twice in Unity Hall, yesterday, afternoon and even'ng on
"Colonial Life among the Puritans" under the auspices of the Ruth
Wylly's Chapter, D. A. R. The lecture was illustrated with lantern
slides, which were especially good. A quaint idea which took very well
was that, several times, when a view of an old chunh was shown,
the operator of the stereopticon changed the light so as to cast a shadow
on the white, church, and then the phonograph behind t he scenes pro-
duced the singing of the congregation accompanied by jn organ, it
was very realastic.

Mr. Cornish was introduced by Principal Gor'lj who said that the
citiicns of Hartford ought to be very proud of their City. He '.hanked
the Ruth Wylly's Chapter for beautifying the old cemetary, ami also for
the bringing to Hartford of such, an interesting speaker a< Mr. Cornish.

The lights were turned up, tuo flags wont down ever '.lie screens,
and after loud applalse the people went out pleased with tiie evenings
entertainment.

Hart rom Daily Courant.

The following Resolution was unanimously adopted at fi meeting
of the Board of Management, held on the evening of the 0th in.-t.

Resolved, That the thanks of the Board of Management of the
Empire State Society, S. A. R., be and are hereby extended to Com-
patriot Louis II. Cornish for his most entertaining and instructive
lecture delivered before the Society, at its meeting heid on the evening
of March 27th, 1900, and that the industry and real of cur Compat
in gathering so much interesting information concerning the Connei
Ancestry of many of our Compatriots, demands particur commend':' n,
recognitioii and encouragement, and that the lecture be commended to
all societies interested in the ancestry of their members.

HE honor of the presence of The Editor of The
Spirit of '76 is requested at the celebration of the
ONE HUNDREDTH ANNIVERSARY of the
acquisition of the Louisiana territory; to be commemo-
rated by the dedication of the LOUISIANA PUR-
CHASE EXPOSITION, St. Louis, April 30th and May
1 st and 2d, 1903.

DAVID R. FRANCIS. President,

Louisiana Purchase Exposition.
THOS. H. CARTER, President
Louisiana Purchase Exposition Commission.
This invitation was naturally declined from the fact
that the National Society of the Sons of the American
Revolution hold their annual congress at New Haven
on the same date as the above. Would it not be the
proper thing for the National Society to meet in St.
Louis next year at the opening of this grand exhibition/
\Ye understand a change of- the inauguration day
from March to the 30th of April is about to be con-
summated.

A RECEPTION held by the Regent of the Washing-
ton Height's Chapter of the D. A. R. to which
were invited the regents of the chapters of New
York City, was a graceful act, inasmuch as it was an
opening to heal the friction that has been evident in the
various chapters of our city. Individual dislikes have,
injured the cause of patriotism. An undertaking of one
chapter is made light of bv another, with the result thru-
very little is accomplished by any of them. If we would
forget our differences and "pull" together we could do
much.

The same thing may be said of the Sons; each State
society has its own little place of interest ami cares noth-
ing for the great things that could be done, if their
efforts were combined. The P. A, P. at the Capitol
(while they may not always be in harmony), certainly
have something to show for their efforts. They are
building and paving for a home in the Capitol. It was
not so man} years ago that the Sons did not care to
have them members of their society. Now. some of the
Sons are asking the Daughters' to give them house-
room when their temple is dedicated.

I wrote a letter to J. Pierpont Morgan, enclosing a
stamped envelope tor a reply. As he kepi the stamp, i
was about to write 1 in. that his act might cause a cool-
ness between us in the hereafter, when it occurred to me
that the coolness might be of advantage to him at that
time.

IE annual banquet of the Empire State Society of
the Sons of the American Revolution will be held
at Delmonico's, Saturday evening, April 18th, to
commemorate the anniversary of the Battle of Lexing-
ton, and also to awaken interest in the movement for the
erection of the martyrs' monument. A large attend-
ance is expected, as the Daughters of the American
Revolution and their friends, have been invited to attend
on the same basis as the members of the Empire State
Society.

HE secretary of a society of the Sons of the Ameri-
can Revolution is a slave that does the bidding
Oi his superiors. He is the working force — the
man that must be depended upon to keep things mov-
ing. Such a man should be elected by the State so-
cieties, and should be upheld by them, if he shows proper
interest in his work. The other officers should be
chosen and committees appointed from those who do
something, and not from names. If it is necessary to
coax a man to hold an office he doesn't like or want to
till, you can depend upon it, that very little credit will
come to the society from his connection with it. The
same way on committees ; a man should not be appointed
unless he is willing to serve, and if he accepts he should
do his work. We have heard of a treasurer who pro-
tested against receiving the money from a fund for a
patriotic purpose because it would entail too much work
in his office. He has probably not had the experience
that we have had. in trying to get the money from mem-
bers of a patriotic society, or he would not have feared
the over-taxing of his office for this fund.

WHAT has the National Society of the "Sons of
the American Revolution" accomplished in the
last ten years? The National Register was pub-
lished by an individual and is credited to the National
Society, while many of that society have repudiated it.
'1 he attempt to do something for the society has been
but a thankless task.

On account of the many errors and omissions which
occurred in the first volume, the publisher has under-
taken to make these corrections good bv issuing a sec-
ond book-, containing a list of the additional members
for tlie \rai 1002. This book will also contain the pro-
ceedings of the last NFation.il Congress held at Wash-
ington, D. C, and also many illustrations. Those who
desire to have a biographical sketch of themselves and
then- ancestors will have the opportunity of using this
book for that purpose, It will probablv be the last op-

• > - ,i

]K)i tunil ■> given I he numbers for I lie purpose, certainly
|>\- the present publisher, and no urn: else will be looli.-sii
enough in ever undertake ' il. ( onnnents have been
made about having sketches in the original volume.
Even with Ihe sketches that were paid for in the lirsi
bonk, il was published at a heavy loss to both the Presi-
dent-General and the publisher. Such a book as was
given for $2.00 should never have been sold for less than
^5.00. .Many members who have subscribed for the
work have bad their books sent thein and have reluseil
to accept the same, the publisher paying the cxprcs.-age
both ways, which amounted to a large sum.

Those of you who think yourself great enough to be
illustrated alter your death, will probably be disap-
pointed in a great many instances. It is for you, when
you arc in your prime, to leave to history tur the bciieht
of your descendants, a picture 01 your features thai will

hardly answered to fit the above legend.
' The reply to the first question, "\\ hat is the difference
between the "Sons of the Revolution' and the "Sons of

SPIRIT OF '76.

•J HE SOCIETY OF THE SONS OF J UP AMERI-
CAN REVOLUTION, AND THE PURPOSE

OF ITS EXISTENCE.
A paper road by George \V. Dates, Historian-Genera]
of the National Societ}', Suns of the American Revolu-
tion, before the Empire State Society, S. A. R., at a
meeting held at the National Arts I lub, New York City,
Tuesday, December 16th, 1902;

HE origin and growth of a national patriotic so-
ciet) is an event of great interest. It is the result
of the political growth of the country, and repre-
sents a national spirit. Its purposes embrace the wUoi
range of American institutions, as sustained by such a
spirit, 10 create which is the great object of its ex.'Sten ■ .
its primary object is to forestall those disintegrating
influences, which may be at work undermining the f>
dations of American liberty.

American politics to-day has to deal with social ques-
tions, which threatens the peace of the nation. Such an
organization as this society, is a public necessity, as the
only available means wliereb) a national spirit can be
created, which shall be able to deal with such questions
for the best interests of the people. For it is based on a
full expression of a deep -rated American sentiment,
which is an irresistible force in the I nited States. It
crushes everything that stands in the way, it goes din t
to the very root, and .entering into the ranks and files oi
the opposition, carries the day in the very household oi
the enemy.

ORIGIN OF THE SOCIETY.

The inception of this societ) may be said to be one oi
the outgrowths of the spirit of patriotism that was "set
aflame by a long series of centennial celebrations' a tew
years ago in this country. The great celebration of
Massachusetts, of the one hundredth anniversary of ' e
Battle of Lexington was the first in line. Then i ilk ' ';
the centenaries of the adoption of the Constitution, .he
surrender at Yorktown, the evacuation of Neve York,
and the great demonstration of New York, April 30th,
1889, in honor of the one hundredth anniversary of the
inauguration of George \\ ashington, as the first Presi-
dent of the United States. These celebrations revi\ '.
the memories of the Revolution, and impressed upon
the people the lessons of that great struggle, which can
only be jealously guarded and made prominent by or
ganizations of this character. This wave of patriotism
created this organization, as a stimulant to nt;
thought and the means of fostering the patriotic senti-
ment of the country.

The real cause, however, was more deep seated and
philosophic than this apparent origin oi the society.

It has been stud that the evolution, which developed
a Republic, on the Western Hemisphere, may be tra?ed
to the earliest settlers. Liberty, as we understand an i
see to-day, has keen secured through a series 01 events,
each step bringing the people nearer and near../ toward
the erection of our government. Out ancestors
the wilderness for civil and religious liberty. Y\ he:
was attacked and hampered by the English crown an
nobilitv, they determined that it sh mid not pass from
their hands.' The John Peter Zcnger libel suit in N'c ,
York was the immediate cause, which afterwards ■!■■
veloped the organization known as the Sous ',: lab r
Their object then was the preservation or civil rly.

The main aim and puiposc back of this or go li '■

American institution- and which have resulted in keen-
ing alive a patriotic spirit. It was soon found that a
new and more powerful influence was needed that should
be especially national, arid from this came the Societv
of the Sons of the American Revolution, whose mission
is to preserve American institutions by creating a trn
national spirit. Its origin may thus be traced to the
first conception of civil liberty on this continent, and us
growth, is contemporaneous with the development of
liberty in America.

ITS OBJECT AND PURPOSE.

Its declared object is to maintain the institutions eh
American freedom, by keeping alive the principles of
the Revolution, which, stand for personal liberty under
a wise and just administration of the law. For it is lib-
erty combined with government, which alone guaran-
tees to the citizen his individual freedom. Anything
short of tin's will only result in tumult and confusion,
but when united, the perpetuity of our institutions is
secured.

The first dutv of this society is to safeguard the his-
torical associations of the Revolution and stand- tor his-
tory. In its highest significance it applies the- b< s; ele-
ments of history to modern citizenship. It has to deal
with the growth of democracy in this country, as one of
the most complicate'! problems of the age. i he gen-
eral opinion is that to unite the incongrous mass oi
people, which come- to this country under one govern-
ment, and .vhicli shah be controlled by public sentiment,
is an impossibility, but the growth of American democ-
racy under the guidance of American institutions, has
demonstrated its possibility. Europe has solved these

objects in the direction of history and the record- oi tl 1
past. In America we are only working out on a large
scale the same problem bv applying these lessons of the
past as a means of education to the people. Tht ques-
tion which is now before us is not what these various
nationalities played in ' e development of theii own in-
dividual countries, but how they be made to uudcrstar
the spirit of our institutions, when they become a part
of the American people, possessed of all the rights and
privileges of American citizens.

The answer is to :reate a true national spirit, which
will so identify our foreign population with American
institutions, as to induce them to feel that tlic> ire a
part of them. This \y, - k naturallv falls to this - ■

EAST ROCK PARK, NEW HAVEN, CONN,

SOME LOCAL OBJECTS OF INTEREST.
New Haven, first called Quinnipiack by the Indians,
and later named Rodenburgh by the Dutch travelers
on account of the red rocks in its neighborhood, was
founded in 1638. A granite tablet in the wall of the
brick building on the corner of College and George
streets, is placed near the site of the oak under which
John Davenport preached his first sermon upon the dav
of the landing. Chi the stump of this tree stood, at a
later period, the anvil of the father of Lyman Beecher
and grandfather of Henry Ward Beecher. Newman's
barn, in which the fundamental Agreement, or Consti-
tution of the Colon}', was adopted June 4th, 1639, is sup-
posed to have been not far from the site of the building
of the New Haven Colony Historical Society.

NEW HAVEN COLONY HISTORICAL SOCIETY
BUILDING.

The New Haven Colony Historical Society was char-
tered by the General Assembly of the State of Connecti-
cut, May, 1863.

Its building on Grove street, fronting Hillhouse ave-
nue, was erected and presented to the society in com-
memoration of James Edward English and of his wife,
Caroline Fowler English, by their son, Henry Fowler
English, 1893.

The rare collection of antiquities in the building will
undoubtedly interest many, if not all, visitors.

The Noah Webster House. The house in which Noah
Webster worked and died, now occupied by Mrs. Henry
Trowbridge, stands on the southwest corner of Grove
and Temple streets, directly east of the Historical So-
ciety's building. During an interval of his college
career he served in a company of militia, raised to op-
pose General Burgoync. At one time his company
acted as the escort to General Washington, and Web
stcr has recorded that, "U fell !■> my humble lot Io lead
this company with music."

New Haven's Famous Elms ox the Green,

The Benedict Arnold House, 155 Water street, built
by. Arnold about 1771. He left it in 1776. Bought by
Noah Webster in 179S and occupied by him from 1S02
until L812. The house is now used for the storage of
lumber.

The Wooster House stood at 2S2 George street. This
liou.se was the property of Major-General David Woos-
ter, who was born u Stratford, March 2. 1710, and was
graduated at Yale in 1738. Was a lieutenant in the
provincial army during the war between England and
Spain, in 1745 he was a captain in the regiment of
Colonel Burr, which, participated in the capture of
Louisburg', and was finally promoted to the rank of
brigadier-general during the French war. He received
his death wound in the engagement near Ridgeficld be-
tween Genera! Tryon's forces and the American troops,
from the effects of which he died May 2, 1777. The
house was taken down in 1895 to afford a site for the
Zunder School.

The Roger Sherman House. The original house
stood on the present site of the. Union League Club,
1032 Chapel street. Subsequently Sherman built an-
other house on the same home lot, a little westward.
1050 Chapel street, now occupied by stores, where he
lived and died in 170.3. Roger Sherman, a sterling
patriot, was the only man whose privilege it was to take
part in the making and signing oi four great state
papers: The Declaration of Rights, the Declaration of
Independence, the Articles of Confederation, and the
Constitution of the Hinted Slates.

SPIRIT OF '76. 123

The Elbridgc Gerry House was located on the south-
east corner of Temple and Wall streets. He was a
signer of the Declaration oi Independence', and Vice-
President of the United Stairs in 1813.

The Macmillan Company. New .York.
Mrs. Gertrude Athcrtcn's ai"n in collecting the letters of
Hamilton has been to enable Hamilton's admirers to form a
much more close estimate of his character than i- possible from
almost any other source. He wrote so freely and intimately
that his letters aftoid mai y personal revelations of the man, and

his lovabh human nature. It is, as it were, a companion ■> A

her masterly portrait oi her hero. The letter- have been se-
lected from the great bulk of state papers and many voh
which m a {'ii, era! sen::- are unavailable for the avera ;c reader.
Among some oi the interesting letters is the famous Andre
letter, and there is also a copy of the deed of separation oi
Hamilton's grandparents, the Fawcetfs, copied from the rec ird
of Nevis, and there are several letters which are not to be foun I
in the regular collection or in the lives by his son. One letter
of great interest 1- thai which Airs. Atherton has herself un-
earthed at Copenhagen, in which Hamilton describes the ter-
rible tornado which devastated his home, and which affords such
.. graphic scene in "The Conqueror." Tins letter has never be-

HEROES.

There are multitudes of heroes

Who are numbered with the dead,
Unknown heroes, unsung heroes

Lying where no tear is shed —
Lying in the shallow trenches.

Buried in a martial shroud,
While their requiems were echoed

From the cannon-mouthings loud.

There are heroes, unknown heroes.

In their long and silent sleep,
Lying 'ncath th' roaring billows

Of the dark unfathomed deep —
Lying in the gloomy caverns

■ Of the silent, nether sea,
Through the months, the years, the ages

Leading to Eternity.

All unknown and all unknowing,

Still, as worthy as the known;
Tho' their names were never graven

Upon monuments of stone,
Tho' unsung, unknown, forgotten,

Every spirit still shall be
Abroad where armies battle

And abroad upon the sea.

For 'tis little, little matter

Where they died or where thev sleep,
Whether wreathed with twining laurel

Or with coral of the deep ;
Whether any heart doth miss them,

Whether any tears are shed.
Somewhere there are crowns emblazoned

With the glory of the dead.

SPIRIT OF '76. , WAV, i9o3

HH HE new administration of the National Society of
the Sons of the American Revolution propose [• ,
call themselves a "business administration" and to show
the slate societies that something wi'd 1 e done for them
during their term of office. The Xa:i mal Society really
has never done much of anything as a National Societ\
for lack of funds. This administrate n proposes to show
that the National.- Society can (\o something for the vari-
ous slates and hopes to make a re] ■:"•. at its next con-
gress thai will have the endorsement of the various
states. There is no reason why certain arrangements
cannot be made whereby the headquarters '"of., the Na-
tional Society can be made of great assistance, to the
members at large.

T HE annual banquet given b\ the Empire State So-
cictv, Soils of the America:! Revolution, held! at
Delmonico's, Saturday evening, April 18, 1903, was very
numerously attended by an enthusiastic assemblage of
Sons and Daughters. The menu card was a particularly
attractive one from a design by Cor:. patriot Withington
Robinson, 384 participating;. The Board of Managers
of the National Society attended as the guests of the
State Society, and the following interesting addresses
were made : —

Hon. Walter S. Logan, "What We Have' Done."
Hon. Robert B. Roosevelt, "Dutch Influence on the
Republic."

Rev. Frank Oliver Hall, D. D„ "The Prospect of Uni-
versal Peace."

Hon. Edward Warfield, "The Ladies and What They
Have Done for the Cause of Patriotism."

Hon. Jacob A. Cantor, "New York in the Revolution.'1
Capt, W. H. Slay ton, "The Sea Power of the Repub-
lic."

Col. John J. Murphy, "Irishmen in the Revolution."
Prof. William K. Wickes, "The Spirit of the Burl and
Blue." __

ON THE ALERT.

There was an aspiring citizen in Mississippi who used
to cptote grandiloquently the familiar saying, "The office
should seek the man, not the man the office." On one-
occasion he was observed electioneering for himself in
the old-fashioned style, with whiskey, cigars, etc. Being
reminded of his recent lofty utterances, he answered :
"I still maintain my position. The office should seek the
man; but, by gad! sab, the man should be around when
the office is looking for him." — Argonaut. -

This little squib is very pertinent at the present time.
There arc too many men in our society who work for
unselfish patriotism as they call it. \ hey have no die-
sire, according to their .stories, but t ■ be of use to the
Cause. When you hear men talking this way they will
bear watching; there are none of us but wdiat are work-
ing for some object either in the way of money or hon-
ors. When we get money we can more readily buy
honors with it. If we have no money we work and give
our time for the same purpose. Tr. politics a man musl
be made prominent by being brought before the public
before he can hope for political proferment. Any honor
that our society can give a man in the way of an office
is bringing him that much more hit > the public eye, . nd
placing him where political Honor- -■. .■ apt to overtake
him. Our society is a national body, it contains most
of our prominent national men, and the fact thai we are
national officers is brought consta K before thesv
11,000 prominent Americans and any honor eonfoi
by such a society is the strongest rid of endorsement
that a man is fit to fill most anv po.-hion of honor that

FOURTEENTH ANNUAL CONGRESS, SONS OF THE

AMERICAN REVOLUTION,

HELD AT NEW HAVEN, CONN ,

APRIL 30th to MAY ist, 1903.

r~P HE Fourteenth Annual Congress of the National Society
*~ of the Sons of the American Revolution was held at New
Haven April 30 to May 1, 1903. The Congress was opened by
President-General Edwin Warfieid being escorted to the chair
with the colors by a detail of .Minnie .Men from Washington,
D. C. Chaplain-General Rufus W. Clark, D. D., opened the
Congress with prayer. The President-General then introduced
Genera! Mcrwin, of New Haven, who, in the absence of Mayor
Studlev, welcomed the congress to the city. President-General
Warfieid replied in a happy manner. A Credential Committee
consisting of Messrs. J. Noble Stockett, of Maryland; Louis
H. Cornish of New York; Herbert W. Kimball, of Massa-
chusetts; Wallace Donald McLean, of District of Columbia,
and Thomas Pitts, of Michigan, were appointed. A recess of
ten minutes was then taken, during which Ex-Presidents Logan
and Breckinridge addressed the congress. Governor Franklin
Murphy, of New Jersey, was then presented and mule a brief
address. A motion was made that the rules of the House of
Representatives of the United Slates be adopted as the rules
to govern the congress during its deliberations. Judge White-
head offered resolutions of thanks to the minute men of Wash-
ington, D. C. for their attendance at the congress. Various
reports of the general officers were then read. An appropria-
tion of $Sco was made to further the work of the Educational
Committee, of which General Thomas M. Anderson is chair-
man. Col, Win. Ridgley Griffith, of Maryland, made an appeal
for contributions to the fund for the erection of a monument
to the martyrs who died in the prison ■-hips at Wallabout
Basin. About $.2,000 was realized from the appeal. The
Registrar-General reported that 98S new members had In en ad-
mitted to membership during the past year. The Em-
Dire State Society leads with a total of 154 new mem-
second with 140, and District of

year. A motion to strike off 100 more medals for compat-
riots who served in the Spanish War was made b> Genera1 1.
C. Breckinridge and carried. George \\*. Bates, historian-
general, read an interesting and exhaustive report in relation
to the society at large. In the afternoon a visit was made to
the buildings of Yale College In the evening a reception was
given to. the visiting delegates t» the Mary Clap Wooslcr
Chapter of New Haven, and the Regent, Mrs Win. M >sclcy,
and. die State Regent, Miss Sarah T. Kinney, and olhei promi-
nent D, A R. received in .. verj successful manner. The guests
were entertained by the beautiful pictures which adorned the

walls and especially by a picture of George Washington by the
-, r, : a 1 ..... ,1 1 ' 1 .. 1 1 n ,-.. 1 , . .. » .... 1 :..

Before the opening of the morning session of the National
Congress of the Sun, of the American Revolution the dele-
gates in the I ourteenih Congress were photographed on the
steps ol Center church. The crypt was opened and the sons
visited the historic spot under Center Church.

There was submitted for adoption a new marker for graves
ol Revolutionary patriots. The markei in general design is
'he s;-,nie a- the old, save thai it includes a block of granite at
the end oi the rod that serves as an anchor and prevents the
theft of idle stone.

Hon. Jo),,, Code, of Washington, D. C, called attention to
a movi ment inaugurated in \ irginia to celebrate on May 13.
1007, at Jamestown, to commemorate the first permanent set-
tlement in America by the English speaking people. A com-
pany has been organized with General Fitzhugh Lee as presi-
dent. Mr. Goode said the movement deserved the co-opera-
tion of the people throughout the country. Jamestown should
he held iti everlasting remembrance. It was there the first
legislative assembly met in America.

The congress passed a resolution approving of the celebra-
tion and recommending its support. The regular order of
business was then followed with the report' from the various
States.

A pro rata tax was laid upon the various State societies for
the fund as (he S. A. R. contribution to the prison ship mar-
tyrs' memorial at Fort Greene, New York. Colonel Griffith,
of Maryland, the chairman of the Monument Committee, re-
ceived subscriptions amounting to $_\ooo for the fund. About
$3,000 more remains to be raised.

The "Star Spangled Banner" was a subject for discussion
this morning, James T. DuBois, of Washington, D. C, an
official in the diplomatic service, offered a resolution on the
subject.

Mr. DuBois in his resolution said that inasmuch as a great
many people of the United States were not familiar with the
words of the "Star Spangled Banner," he moved that the so-
ciety recommend that all societies during the exercises in
which the American Hag is unfurled that the "Star Spangled
Banner" be sung. There was some opposition made to the
national society going ,->n record as admitting that the Ameri-
can people were ignorant of the words of their national
anthem.

Mr. DuBois' rcsolut;nn was passed with the striking out of
the word "great."

Judge Morris B. Beardsley, of Bridgeport, nominated for
president-general of the national society, General Edwin S.
Greeley, of New Haven. W. W. J. Warren, of New York,
seconded the nomination of General Greeley.

Pennsylvania had a candidate for the president-general's
chair in Judge Hancock, of Franklin. Pa., but his name was
not brought before the convention. Governor Franklin Mur-
phy spoke in favor of Genera! Greeley.

Major Ira 11. Evans, of Austin, Tex., president of the Texas
society, endorsed General Greeley for the presidency.

Major Evans said that Connecticut had contributed to the
State of Texas many of her citizens who ha'! distinguished
themselves in that State. Texas, because of that fact, found
pleasure in endorsing General Greeley.

Upon motion of John Whitehead, president of the New Jer-
sey Society, the secretary-genera! cast the ballot for General
Greeley for the office of president-general. .Major Genera!
Breckinridge. U. S. A., moved that the declaration of the vote
be made b\ a rising vote of the congress, and this was done.

General Greeley was escorted before the congress by Judge
Whitehead, of New Jersey, Judge Go,, dc. of Virginia, and
Judge Hancock, of Pennsylvania, with the minute men.

General Greeley made a brief address.

SOME ATTRACTIVE FEATURES OF THE CONGRKSS.

Banquet Given to the Delegates by the
Connecticut Society S. A. R.

Tlit banquet in Music Hall of the National Society of the
Sons of the American Revolution was one of the most brilliant
events of the season. The hall was decorated with hundreds
of American Hags that formed a cauopv over the tables below,
at which the Sons were seated. In -Ik galleries were many
members of the Daughters of the American Revolution.

When the delegates had been assigned to their scats the
".Minnie .Men" escorted the speakers to their seats. The
guests were seated as follows: Edwin Warfield, Cornelius A.
Pugsley, Rev. R. \Y. Clark. Jonathan Trumbull. President A.
T. Hadley, Genera.! Curtiss Guild, Lieutenant-Governor of
Massachusetts: Hon. John Goode. Rev. \Y. L. Phillip?. D. D.,
Prof, H. W. Rogers. Gen. S. E. Merwin Col. X. G. Osborn.
Gen. E. S. Greeley. Hon. W. S. 1 ogan, E. P. Cone, H. D.
Ross, Gen. J. C. Breckinridge. Hon. 1.. P. Deming.

Rufus W. Clark, D. D., of Detroit. Mich., the chaplain-gen-
eral invoked divine blessing and the Sons and their guests then
proceeded with the banquet. The delegates sang the "Star
Spangled Banner." "Dixie" and other patriotic songs. Yale
men who were numerous in the gathering just to break the
chord of patriotic tunes, sang old and familiar Yale songs, end-
ing with a Yale cheer. It turned out that a great portion of
the delegates were Yale alumni.

Jonathan Trumbull, president of the Connecticut Society,
made a few introductory remarks in reference to the history
of Connecticut. He then introduced in a few well chosen words
the toastmaster of the evening, Colonel X. G. Osborn. The
tirst speaker of the evening wa.s Hon. Edwin Warfield, former
president-general of the national society, from Maryland. Gen-
eral Warfield spoke in part as follows on "The Sons of the
American Revolution:''

"Ladies and Gentlemen: It is a great hot. or to be a native of
a State like "Old Maryland.' You have paid my State a great
honor, and I thank you for it from the bottom of my heart for
this most hospitable reception. This is a magnificent banquet,
one of the most magnificent ones ] have ever had the pleasure
of appearing before. This is greatly so because it is attended
by so mans beautiful women from this State and neighboring
ones lour State has done a great deal for our order, giving
us over 1,000 members. We have here with us to-night the
man who presides over one of the greatest institutions of learn-
ing in the world, and an institution which has greatly assisted
in making our country's history. I think that Yale might to
have the history of our organization in its library, and whet,
the student reads it he will see what our ancestors have done
in making the nation's history. I dri not know as 1 can be

a belter man and citizen of me, and 1 love that glorious Ameri-
can dag more than 1 ever did before. 1 thank you, gentlemen."
The speaker was loudly applauded.

Past President-General Logan, of New York, then took the
floor, and in a splendid speech presented Past President War-
field with a magnificent large framed picture of the officers of
the organization for last year.

the next speaker of the evening was President Arthui T.
Hadley of Yale who received an ovation of applause. 1!<
spoke on "The Yale Spirit of '76 and 1903.' He extended his
most hearty thank's for the welcome given him, and said: "I be-
lieve thai the Ya'e spirit of '76 and the spirit which you repre-
sent is the same, one of loyalty and patriotism. Every good
university tries to make every student who enter-- it feel that
he is a part of a universal spirit of action and a physical and
mental inspiration oi that spirit. There is another thing which
Yale has in common with the Sons of the American Revolu-
tion, and that is patriotism. The Sons of the American Revo-
lution represent the interests and powers of our country's most
influential citizens. We are glad to have you here and we arc
glad that you have honored one of out citizens by electing him
your president, and we pledge ourselves to become belter citi-
zens by the inline, ices which you have left with us."

Hon. John Goode. of Washington, spoke on "Virginia and
the Revolution." giving a very interesting historical address
and not omitting some handsome compliments foi the fair
ladies present.

The next speaker of the evening was Genera! Curtis Guild,
Jr., of Boston.

The Lieutenant-Governor of Massachusetts was asked to
respond to the toast. "George Washington." He said:

"li the exaggerated worship of George Washington the
demigod has passed it lias been replaced with the infinitely
healthier respect and veneration for George Washington the
man. We have passed alike through the period that merely
magnified, him, and the reaction that produced the flaw-picker
and the iconoclast. Both have given way to the wholesome
admiration that does not expect in the perfect patriot the im-
possible, [lawless man.

"Washington and Lincoln stand so incomparably above other
great Americans that it may well be doubted if history will ever
add a third to the two men whose noble lives are an illustra-
tion that patriotism knows not the limitation of class or caste.
The affection of the people is to-day more truly Lincoln's, but
it is a moot question whether in actual achievement the defeat
of the Rebellion was of more importance than the victory of
the Revolution. It is a question that 1 hope wc shall not try
to solve. The best thought, it seems to me, that comes from
the comparison of these two great patriots is that the cause
of the people was as safe in the hands of the Virginian land
owner as it was in those of the rail splitter from Illinois, that
resistance to the passing clamor of the mob was as much a
part of the nature of the rugged boy from the squatter's cabin
as it was of that of the polished descendant of the Colonial
aristocracy.

Both men were great because the character of each com-
pelled support alike against open hostility and secret envy.

It is the habit of Americans to paint Washington as the
great unselfish leader of a patriotic and united people, winning
battles with .1 half-equipped army against the trained veterans
of Europe. It is a pleasant picture but not a perfect one.

Washington did not escape the usual fate of public men in
all ages. He had to face, and did face, and face down, opposi-
tion and abuse to the day of his death. Spurious letters were
published and attributed' to him. Benjamin Franklin's grand-
son, the bitter and unhappy Mr. Bache, wrote in his newspaper:
"If ever a nation has been debauched by a man the American
nation has been debauched by Washington:" and the great
political party which rose from the ranks of his opponents
actually opposed at the outset the celebration of Washington's
birthday as a step in the direction of a monarchy.

Moreover, the men that fought Washington in Congress
again and again were by no means personally corrupt or toad-
eaters to the contemptible Gates.

Roger Sherman, John Adam;. Richard Henry Lee. men that
we have learned to revere as sincere lovers of their country, and
thev were, actually fought Washington in Congress at one
time or another and hindered the progress of American free

doni by conscientious obstinacy, jus'
to-day postnonc the solution of inevi
lems bv insisting that they must not b

men equally sinc< re

• solved at all.

ies highly jealous of each other, and. though in main of the
same blood, of different manners and tradition;.

The whole American people did not rise and shout for war.
The fervor for freedom in certain quarters was very faint in-

CHARLES WALTER BROWN,
AUTHOR OF MANY HISTORICAL WORKS.

William Vincent Byars, the well known author and critic,
writes entertainingly in the St. Louis Star, of Charles Walter
Brown's contributions to patriotic literature and the place he
occupies as a biographer. 'The following sketch of Mr, Brown
is taken mainly from the Star and the St. Louis Republic:

Charles Walter Brown is a native of this city (St. Louis).
He was educated in the St. Louis public schools and the State
University at Columbia, where his father, the late Professor
Isaac Hinton Brown, was superintendent of the city schools.
Mr. Brown began his literary career on the St. Louis Republic
when the late lamented Clarence II. Howell was its managing
editor. In iSSo he embarked in the publishing business under
the firm name of I. 11. Brown & Co., named in honor of. his
father, then recently deceased. His publishing venture was
for a time fairly successful and- doubtless would have continued
so but for the panic of 1893. In the fall of 1890 he established
the inland Journal of Education, of which lie was both editor
and publisher. While conduct in;', this paper Mr. Brown made
more than one hundred addresses before educational as-
semblies in every State bordering the Mississippi and South
to the Rio Grande. His arti.de- in the Republic written dur-
ing hi.- visits to the Southwest, in which, iie advocated stale-
hood for our Spanish speaking territories, emigration from
the populous centers of the East, and closer social and com-
mercial relations with oui sister republics of the South, won
for him a wide reputation as a forceful writer and advanced

thinker on economic questions

V

is semi-humorous lecture

on "Mexico, Bast. Present and Future," as first published in
the Republic, has been republished either in part or in its en-
tirety in half the papers of the Southwest. The same may he
said of his lectures on "M< sicn, the Egypl >f the Now World,"
'"Santa Fe, Old and Xew," "Across the Rio Grande/' "Among
the Rockies." and others with '.•cues laid toward the Montc-
zumas. lli- numerous addresses on educational subjects de-

I" liquidating ail obligations, however, it left him impovei
ished with only the royalties from his and his father's books,
amounting to less than $1,000 annually.

In 1807 Mr. Brown was made editor of the several Western
Stau edition- ,,f the Teacher's Institute, a well-known educa
tional paper, published by E. L. Kellog-g & Company, New
York, oi winch A. Flanagan, the publisher, was the Chicago
manager. Dining this |>criod of activity-arid until the fall ol

commercial advertising, including a!! lines of trade, and" the
many booklets and folders produced by him shows a knowl-
edge oi the commercial side of lite po scssed by few literary
men. In addition to more than a score oi these pamphlets,
he found time to write, edit or compile many books, perhaps
fifty in rib, and all of an educational character.

In 1000 he became literary editor fur the old established
house ofDonohue & flenneberry, Chicago, now M. A. Dono-
liite & Company, which position he still holds. His time is
chiefly employed in reading and e liting the many manuscripts
submitted to his firm _ for publication, while his evenings are
spent at the Press Club, where he is both librarian and' a di-
rector oi that large and influential organization of literary
men.

Some of Mr. Brown's books have enjoyed immense sales.
"Nathan Hale, the Martyr Spy," published' in 1898, passed its
hundredth thousand some years ago. "Common School Elo-
cution/ "Rational Elocution," "Common School Question

Book." and "Brown's Speakers.'' some thirty 1 ks in all, and

in winch Mr. Brown's name appears as editor, have sold in the
aggregate upwards of a million copies, while "John Paul
Jones," "Ethan Allen" and others commemorating the lives
and deed- of American heroe-. are extremely popular with the
youth ol our country, and are well worthy a place in every
library. The same may be said of the lives of Washington,
Sherman, Lincoln, Grant and Roosevelt, in which Mr. Brown's
name appears as joint author with such able scholars as Hon.
Joseph 11. Barrett and Benson J. Lossing. In these pictur-
esque American biographies which have commended him to
popular favor, Mr. Brown ha.- shown himself able to deal with
them as historical persons without detracting anything from
the romantic qualities of their individuality. His exceptional
talent for narrative causes what are in reality painstaking and
accurate biographies to possess the fascination of romance.
He competes with historical fiction by developing the superior
interests of the facts as they grew out of the lives of his heroes
and the life of their times. Few biographies intended foi
popular reading and the widest general circulation illustrates
the same faculty of measuring statement and giving its gov-
erning value _to fact while developing the picturesque and the
romantic as it lies latent in history.

Among the volumes announced to follow those already pub-
lished are the lives of Paul Revere, Lafayette, Putnam, Gates,
Greene, Pulaski, Kosciusko, Montgomery and Sergeant Jas-
per, whom Mr. Brown has selected as illustrating their mean-
ing and the meaning of their time a- men of action. Mr.
Brown i- rapidly forging his way to the front rank as a bio
L'rapher and historian — a field in which he has many competi-
tors but few peers.

Thoughoul all of his writings the spirit of patriotism and
love of country is manifested to a marked decree, vet it is
not singular that hi- thoughts and literary efforts should lie
in that direction: he is simply following in the footsteps of
those who have gone before him. Mr. Brown traces his au-
cestry in America to the Mayflower, which brought to these
then cheerless shores the hopeful though unfortunate Peter
Brown, who is best known In histon throucrh having his feet
so badly frost bitten during the winter of 1620 and 1021 that he
became a permanent cripple.

IJATTLE OF LEXINGTON DESCRIBED IN AN
ANCIENT BOOK.

The Sons oi t lie Revolution recently selected llie loth day ot
April as the time ot their annual meeting hereafter. This is
the anniversary of the battle of Lexington, in 1775. the initial
conflict .'I the revolution which brought about American free-
dom. In a quaint old book this is recorded of the battle thus
comment >rated :

"i. And it came to pass that Thomas, captain of the King
of Britain privately sent a chosen band of men, about the
eleventh hour of the night, to a place called in the Italian
tongue Concordia, to destroy the storehouses oi the people
and the implements of war.

"2. Yet, notwithstanding it was the night season when the
soldiers set out. and the governor kepi a strict watch, the peo-
ple of the province had notice thereof.

"3. And there assembled together of the people of the pro-
vince, three score and ten persons, and the soldiers of the
King of Britain were eight hundred valiant nun.

"4. And when the soldiers saw that the people of the pro-
vince were collected together they shouted with a great shout,
and as they shouted they shot at the people of the province,
and it was said that some of the people were slain.

"5. And it came to pass that John, captain of a company of
the province, when he heard- the shouting of the men of war,
that he armed himself and ran, and about four hundred men
followed after him to the battle.

"6. And they overtook the soldiers of the King of Britain
at a place called in the vernacular tongue Lexington, and they
fought with them there; and the soldiers tied by the highway
of the country; and John and tile men who were with him fol-
lowed hard after them, warring as they went, until thou cont-
est to a mountain that Iookest toward the town.

"/• And the men of Britain were very weary and chafed in
their minds; and it was about the going down of the sun when
they ascended the mountain, and the} rested them that nigh..

"8. And on the morrow they passed over the river and weir
into the town; and the number of the slain of the men of Brit-
ain were three score and five persons; and there fell of Un-
people of the provinces two score and ten men.

"y. And it came to pass when it was known throughout the
land of Columbia that some of the people of the provinces were
slain by the soldiers of the King of Britain

"10. That the leaders of the people cried out, saying: AYhat
part have we in George, or what inheritance in the house of
Brunswick? Lo, he hath cast us off as aliens to his house and
dcaleth with us as his enemies.'

"11. Then the people strengthened themselves greatly, and
encouraged one another to fight manfully for their country,
their wives and their little ones.

"12. Af.i' the people accustomed themselves to the exercises
of war; and instead of the voice of melody and the songs of
gladness, the sound of the trumpet and the shouting of the
warriors were heard."

TO PERFECT THE FAMILY TREE

Concord, N. IB. April 28, 1903.
Editor Spirit of '76,

iS and 20 Rose street, Mew York City.

Dear Sir — Please insert the following wants in the column
"To perfect the Family Tree:"

S1LSB Y-BIJSS. — I hear of a marriage prior to 1800 in
Connecticut between Silsby and Bliss and I have reason to
think that this manage was between the parents of J. din Silsby,
of Norwich and New London, Conn., born Scotland. Conn.,
August 30, 1782. His parents' names are unknown to me, but
the use of Bliss a? a middle name by Captain Zachariah Bliss
Silsby, born 1770, a brother of John Silsby, ami among the
descendants of both these brothers down to the present day
would indicate a connection of some kind with the Bliss fam-
ily. Will some one who has the record of that family furnish
dales and names?

SILSBY-TRUESDELL.— Wanted the address of some
descendant of Erminda, dau. John and Mary (Gable) Silsby,
born 1835. married i86t Josiah Bennett [Yucsdell, who in is75
was a farmer near Biff Flat, X'. Y. I would like the ancestry
of John Silsby.

SILSBEE.-— Wanted the address of some descendant of Mrs.
Rachel gSilsbcc, who <\\^\ at Parma, Mich.. Mar 0. 1S05. aged
80. She wen, to Michigan in 1843, probably from New York.
1 would also like the ancestry of Rachel.

SILSBEE-ALLEN.- Wanted the ancestry n{ Emma Silshee
who man led at Ypsilanti, Mich, abnui iSoo, Arthur F. Allen,
son of Dr. Joseph C. and Lucj Tilden (Champion) Alien,
born 1830.

SILSBY-ALLEN.— Lydin Alien married March r, 1713 at

of birth and death of Lydia, with names of hci parents, includ-
ing maiden name of her mother.

In the [ransc.ript oi September 24, 1002, No. 57 j3 "J. L. W."
mentioned "John Allen, oi Barnstable, Mass., who married
Mai-3 Jloward and had John, b. 107.1; Isaac, b. 1670; removed
from Barnstable prior to 1683, il is said to Conn." Cannot
J. 1. W. find this Lydia among the children of John?

SILSBY-WALLACE. — Wanted the ancestry of Samuel Sils-
hee. of Bangor, N. V., born .it lloosick, X. Y., married Marv
Wallace and kind Louisa, Sally, Allied and Pike Samuel died
before 1812 and Mary married second lames Adams, of Ban-
gor, in 1814. lie was the son of Samuel ami Deborah (Bishop)
Adams. During the war of 1812 Mary kept a public house in
Herkimer, X. \. I would also like the address ol any descend-
ant of Samuel.

SILSBY-TOWER-3AKER.— Wanted the ancestry of Enos
Silsby and his two wives, lie was born in Vermont in 1777;
married first December 20, 1803, Rebecca Tower; second, Janu-
ary 17, 1S21, Prances Baker, and had John, Alfred, Wilson,
Benjamin Franklin, Rebecca, besides three (3) sons who died
young, names unknown. Any dates or names on this family
or address of any descendant of Enos will be of value.

SILSBY-ABBOTT-'iTCE.— Will some one who is familiar
with the records of the Abbott and lice families aid me with
some data on the marriage of Roxy Silsby, of Windham or
Scotland, Conn., to first Samuel Abl ott, second Peter Tice;
both husbands were of New York- City. I think- the date of the
Abbott marriage was about 1S00. By first marriage there was
a sou. Samuel, Jr. The address of any descendant of either
Abbott or Tice will he of service.

Yours trulv,

GEORGE II. SILSBY,

Concord, X. H.

Through the efforts of .Marion II. Brazier, regent and founder
of Paul Jones Chapter, D. A.R.. of Boston, the next school-
house erected there will bear the name of the founder of the
American Navy, Paul Jones. Phis announcement was made
at the fifth anniversary of the chapter— Flag Day. This is the
first instance where the memory of this naval hero has been
honored publicly, the United States Government being singu-
larly remiss in this respect. lM:;s Brazier will conduct the
exercises incident to the dedication under the auspices of the
City of Boston, and her chapter will present the flag pole and
flag on that occasion.

AMERICA'S DEFENDERS.

America's Defenders is the title of one of the latest patriotic
songs published, and it is modestly making its way into popu-
lar favor. It diners, however, from all other compositions of
the kind in this one particular, its sentiment is directed against
the foreign invader.

The author has happily chosen for his theme the sentiment
dear to the hearts of every true and loyal American. From
-Maine to California, from Alaska to Florida, there is not one
dissenting voice. That there is in the Monroe Doctrine, and
all which it implies, a sentiment upon which the whole country
is united and determined to sustain, admits of no argument-
It matters not to us now what right; we have in the premises,
the interpretation of a violation of any of its tenets by a foreign
power, when translated, means war. And that is the sentiment
which the author ha? woven into words and set to music of a
marshal character, stirring and inspiring, as a national melody
should be.

There are some who tell uc that, in order to write a real
national song, some great struggle or some stirring event is
necessary in order to inspire the author. Well, the stirring

event has passed, t!

le enemy has re

diei ed and retired, wait-

ing, perhaps, for a more favorable opportunity to begin oper-
ations.

It was during the exciting times in Vcnerucla, South Amer-
ica, when our country was on the verge of war with Germany,
that America's Defenders mad-: its appearance. Had the song
been popular at that time, had the melody been played and its
echoes heard in the hails of the foreign rulers, it is a question
whether even Germany would have gone as f;tr as she did.

We have dwelt considerably on this subject for the reason
we believe that this country should have at least one charac-
teristic air or melody thai will convey to all foreign powers
the universal sentiment or the whole people: in fact, it would
not be a bad idea if both Americas would unite in singing
" America's I Jefendc rs."

The song and chorus is published in tin popular sty'c, price
twenty-five cents, and may he ordered from Ernest W. Strack,
publisher. oA) Fulton street. Brooklyn. N V. the music being
composed bv Vivian Poll Lowe, and the words, which are

When Freedom waved the Stars and Strip

O'er fair Columbia's shore,
She signaled to her sons: "Ye braves,

Now guard me evermore;
And let the treasure of your sires

Be sacred in your care:
So tell the nations of the earth,

And challenge who goes there.''

CHORUS.

Long years ago. by James Monroe,

A line was drawn with care,
With magic pen. know ye all men.

Around that treasure rare.
"1 is our defense, we guard it hence.

And challenge who goes there.
'Tis our defense, we guard it hence,

And challenge wdio goes there.

An age has passed, yet. in the while,

Columbia has been free;
The gates of Free lorn, cpen wide;

In legions too. her sons have fought.

And w on their laurels . ir;
Not ceased, to guard their treasure well.

THE PRISON SHIP MARTYRS' MONUMENT

FUND.

"P HE LION. S. V. WHITE has told the editor of
The Spirit of '76 that the required amount to ac-
quire the funds from the nation, State and municipality
lias been raised if the different sums premised by patri-
otic societies and individuals is sent in before the Fourth
of July. The Empire State Society Son:, of the Ameri-
can Revolution to dale have contributed $1,455.50;
Massachusetts Slate Society, S. A. R., S200 ; the So-
ciety of Tammany Sj.coo, and we hope that those State
societies of the S. A. R. who promised to contribute
to this fund will do so before Independence Dav, so
that the announcement may be made at that time that
this grand monument to the heroes of the Revolution
will be consummated.

officers elected has never received even an answer. This
condition of things <\'jc~ not mean a rapid growth, and
the National Society should be in a position where it
can excite interest where it is now waning and also act
as an adviser and help to the weaker societies, and in-
still enthusiasm in them. Efforts are being made by the
Secretary-General to form State societies in the South-
ern States, and encouragement has been received from
Alabama and South Carolina.

HE flag on the front page of this issue of The Spirit
of '76 is the original Stars and Stripes which
brought forth the beautiful song, "The Star Spangled
Banner." This song we print in full, so that members
of patriotic societies may be able to make use of it in
their Catherines.

An innovation in Memorial Day has been inaugurated
by the Gen. Silliman Branch, Connecticut Society, Sons
of the American Revolution, which will, no doubt, be
followed by members of patriotic societies throughout
the country. It is to hold services over the graves of
Revolutionary soldiers on the Sunday nearest to June
] 7, the anniversary of the Battle of Bunker Hill, and
instead of using the present Stars and Stripes which are
used over the remains of Civil War veterans, the flag
under which the Revolutionary soldiers fought is placed
over their graves and then the grave is strewn with
flowers, as is done bv the Grand Arm) of the Republic.
Mr. II. F. Norcross is responsible for this innovation,
winch we think a good one.

The work that should receive the serious considera-
tion of the officers of the various State societies i- that
of chapter building— that is where a communis of fif-
teen members can be gathered together it is policy to
form a local chapter to excite local interest. A raller at

of the Cuban Republic upon its inauguration as an inde-
dendent nation.

It was handsomely engrossed by Compatriot Y\ ith-
ington Robinson, and forwarded to Cuba in a large oak
frame.

The {'allowing reply has been received from the Presi-
dent of the Republic:

REPUBLICA DE CUBA PRESIDEXCIA.

Havana. May 20, 1903.
Mr. Walter S. Logan, President of the Empire State So-
ciety of the Sons of the American Revolution,
New York.

Dear Sir: It is a great honor for me to express to
you, in the name of the Cuban people, the warm feeling
of sincere gratitude which they have experienced by re-
ceiving, on this day of happiness and national rejoicing",
the cordial greetings sent to us by the Sons of the Amer-
ican Revolution of New York State.

We are proud of their message because the lineal de-
scendants of the founders of the first American Repub-
lic are the best judges to appreciate the bloody sacri-
fices, at the cost of which the Cubans. have conquered,
with the help of the American people, their independ-
ence and freedom.

The allusive picture accompanying the message is a
most satisfactory emblem devised to represent the eldest
and youngest Republics of the New World closely unit-
ed by the strong and sympathetic ties of sisterhood.

BRONZE MARKERS FOR REVOLUTIONARY HEROf.S

.Members of Buffalo Chapter, Daughters of the American
Revolution, conducted memorial exercises at Forest Fawn
yesterday afternoon in connection with the placing <>i markers
upon the graves of Zcnas Barker, Capt. Samuel Pratt and Ca.pt
Frederick Miller, soldiers nf the. Revolutionary War.

The regent, Mrs. John Miller Florton, presented the markers
to their descendants, using the following form for all:

"In memory of the honored and heroic dead, whose remains
here find shelter and repose, the Buffalo Chapter, Daughters
ef the American Revolution, presents this Revolutionary marker
to his descendants."

Frank B. Steele accepted the marker for his ancestor. Zenas
Barker!

The marker for the grave of Capt. Samuel Pratt, ancestor of
the regent. Mrs, Horton. was accepted for Mrs. Morton's
branch of the family with similar ceremony by Mrs. Charles
Sumner Jones and hei son, Pascal Pratt Jones. Mrs. Frederick
C. Humburch, whose mother was a daughter of Hiram Pratt,
accepted the market in behalf of her branch of the family.

The marker for Capt. Frederick Miller, grandfather of Mrs.
David R. Morse and Teat-grandfather of Mrs. Samuel Ames,
was accepted by Miss Elizabeth Ames.

This begins a new department of work by the chapter, the
first graves being marked yesterday'. It was stated last Janu-
ary, at the suggestion of Mrs. Charles J. North, who told what
was being done, especially in the New England States, by the
Daughters of the American Revolution. Sons of the American
Revolution and kindred patriotic societies. In Massachusetts
■ lone 3, $00 markers have been placed on the graves of Revo-
lutionary berries. A record is kept of all graves marked in this
manner.

Buffalo Chapter has adopted a style of marker similar to that
used in Massachusetts, a bronze shaft crowned with a Maltese
cross, surrounded with a wreath and with a minute man in bas
relief in the center. The marker is four feet high and back of
the cross is a socket, to permit of surmounting the marker
with the American flag.

C( INTERNING PROCTOR'S ATTRACTIONS.

The summer plan- for the F. F. Proctor circuit of theaters
have been practically completed, and unless all present signs.
tail, the outlook is a brilliant one promising success for the
management, steady employment lor the large band of actors
in Mr. Proctor's employ, and— best of all— a gay season of
highly entertaining she,!'- for the public at large. _ Later on
there will be a revival of several of last season'- biggest hits.
and then there will be produced in quick succession hah a
dozen gay pieces never before seen in New- York. All those
productions will be as carefully made as though the season
were at its height, for it is never Mr. Proctor's idea to curtail
expenses, be the season early or late. At his 1 wenty-third
Street Theater the plan of presenting all vaudeville shows will
be continued throughout the summer, the bills being; made up
with especial reference to the warm weather. At his One
Hundred and Twenty-fifth Street house the favorite stock com-
pany will continue its excellent work, strengthened immeasur-
ably by the reappearance of Miss Adelaide Keim, who resumes
her stage work after a much needed period of rest.

About a year ago, Mr. F. F. Proctor issued in a very hand-
some pamphlet form a souvenir of the Proctor stock companies
at his various houses. The first edition of 20,000 copies was
very quickly exhausted, and a second one of 10. coo copies was
then rushed through the presses. Tt is gratifying proof of the
popularity of the Proctor players that this second edition has
since been so largely in demand that only about 500 copies re-
main. These will be sen: upon application to any reader of this
paper who will eit.de.se a two cent stamp with his letter. The
brochure is elcgantlv'and uniquely designed, and, as a theatri-
cal souvenir, it is likely to be highly prized by collectors ot
such mat. -rial Send to the advertising department of Proctor's
Fifth Avenue Theater for one.

Mr. F. F. Proctor last week returned from a two months'
outing, enioyed mainly in Lakcwood, Atlantic City. Philadel-
phia, etc., and is now automobilin.g in the vicinity oi Westches-
ter County. Late litis month. Mr. Proctor will go from his
city residence to his beautiful villa at Larchmont Manor, where
he will remain for aboitt six week*, nrior to another extended
automobile tour-— this time through New England. as far a- the
Maine coast.

Mr. Proctor's theater at -\lhane has recently undergone ex-
tensive alterations, and the old playhouse which has put for-
ward only the best dramatic and vaudeville stars for the past
thirty year-, now rank"- up to dale in decorations and comfort.
It is one of those house* wherein each and every employe feels

TO PERFECT THE FAMILY TREE

Chicago, February 9, 1903.
MFM.

My maternal grandfather, Robert Wilson, entered the army
in 1776 from Northumberland county. Pa., first in the Third (1
think, papers not before me), and in 177S transferred to the
Twelfth Pennsylvania Line, as I recall it.

In 1862, while a student away from home and con:emp;ating
enlisting in the army, my mother wrote me tiiat her rather,
Robert Wilson, was a soldier in the Revolution and was with
General Wayne at the storming of Stony Point.

The Pennsylvania Archives and Records at Pension Office.
Washington, show that Robert Wilson was in the army four
years and four months, and that he was in battles of Brandy-
wine. Germantown, Monmouth, etc., and at Valley Forge.
Family tradition says he served under Wayne during the entire
four years and four months, but apart from what my mother
wrote in 1862, I have no record of his being at Stony Point.

Noticing the ceremonies held at Stony Point last year it oc-
curred to me the -Archives of New York or of your society. S
A. R., might disclose the presence of Robert Wilson at that
engagement.

T III", second volume of the National Register, which is
to be published early in (lie- fall, was to have had the
endorsement "of the National Society. Encouragement was
given the publisher by several of the executive officers,
and with this encouragement the enterprise was begun.
Afterwards, at a meeting: of the Hoard of Managers of-
the National Society, it was thought to be unadvisable to
issue such a work under the auspices of the Society, but
to print as heretofore the National Year Boole.

As the undertaking had been begun by the present pub-
lisher, and as what he undertakes he generally finishes,
the book is being pushed by his energetic representative,
Mr. Charles Whitcomb Shumway. The first volume was
printed at a less to those who undertook it, and the second
volume will be printed at a loss if enough business is not
received to pay for the book, but the publisher is taking
that risk and the hook will come out, and be worth the
price asked. There will be no surplus copies of this
edition, as the experience of the first has taught us to be
cautious.

On account of the National Society not acting as the
publisher of this work the second volume will be pub-
lished as a private enterprise, with the hope that another
vear the National Society will see the advantage of acting
as its own publisher, and continuing the good work of an
annual National Register.

L. II. Cornish, Esq., 239 Broad-way, New York.

My Dear Mr. Cornish — I am glad to know that you are
at work on Volume 3 of the National Register. I do not
think that anything ever has done the Sons of the Ameri-
can Revolution more good than the first volume of the
Register, it has made an imperishable record of many
thousand names and will become a part of American his-
tory, becoming more valuable in my judgment every year..

The book certainly ought to be kept up by the issuing
of new volumes every year. I am glad you have the
courage to attempt it. 1 am sure the Society throughout
the whole counti) will recognize the work you are doing
for them and respond with subscriptions. In the hurry
of getting out the first volume some mistakes were un-
avoidably made which can be corrected and other mis-
takes avoided in the second volume. 1 he only criticism
] have to make on you as a business man is that you un-
dertook in getting up the firstvolume to make a five-dollar
book' for two dollars and so you lost money on it. 1 hope
you will be able, at least, to get out even on Volume Num-
ber Two.

Yours very truly,

i ■ . WALTER S. LOGAN.

M) Dear Cornish — I see by the circular just received
that you propose to publish a second volume of the
National Register, which will contain all the members
who have joined during 1902, and also proceedings of the
Washington Congress. I am pleased to know that you
are going to print this book, not only because it is a very
desirable publication, hut because it will hasten the
time when the National Society will print a National
Register as one of its regular publications. 1 have sent
postal card for one cop) of the de luxe edition, and I
think you might send me a cloth edition, as it will enable
me to dispose of some copies of it. Wishing you every
success in this new venture, I am,

Yours verv truly,

GEORGE W. BATES,
Historian-General National .Society, S. A. R.

] 'resident-General Edwin S. Greeley, in writing to the
publisher of the National Register, says: "I am having
inquiries from some of our compatriots, and have en-
dorsed the enterprise as being worthy of patronage in all
instances. 1 sincerely hope it will be a success in all
respects.''

"I wish now to congratulate you upon the great services
you have done our Society by the publication of this Reg-
ister. It is a patriotic work which will do much to pro-
mote good citizenship in this country. Thanking you
very much for your courtesy to me, 1 remain,

National Society, made an address, as did also ...iss Lee
of Boston, and Edward LTagaman Hall, the latter on
Manhattan, the dinner being given as the Sons' contri-
bution to the 250th anniversary of the celebration of New-
York City as a Municipality. Souvenirs, consisting of a
miniature silk flag of the City of New York, were pre-
sented to each one present. Instead of opening the meet-
ing with grace, Winona Spring Water was used, and
very much appreciated. The' only embarassing incident of
the evening's entertainment was the presentation to the
Secretary of the Soviet)- of a gold insignia, inscribed'* Pre-
sented to Compatriot L. H. Cornish by his many friends
of the Empire State Society S. A. R." Special fireworks,
consisting of the insignia of the Society, and special musi-
cal features were enjoyed from the hands present, and an
altogether enjoyable affair was had by those attending.
The Yonkers contingent, on account of the distance they
had to travel and the enormous appetites developed
thereby, complained that the dinner was not a success;
otherwise nothing but pleasant words were said of this
unique outing, which was conceived of by the chairman
of tlte Entertainment Committee, Louis Annin Ames,
and details carried out by his able and active assistants,
Albert J. Squicr and Win. M. Crane.

PROGRESS.

From thirteen squabbling Colonics,
Poor as poor could be.
Affording none of the luxuries
Not even a cup of tea,
The tranquil, fortunate Forty-five
Are rolling in gobs of gold
And eating sweets fom, Hybla's hive
As Crcesus as of old.

I say, from the pun)- Twelve plus One,

These Forty-three plus Two

Are pointing with pride to things they've done

And boasting of things they'll do.

From Bradford's days of water and fish,

From Washington's yams and salt.

We rattle the spoon in a savory dish

And drink of the liquid malt.

From hungry statesmen as of yore,
And weak and starving scout,
Now Opulence sits at the door
And paupers die of gout.
From the old flint-lock with powder-pan
That bashed when the day was dry,
We've mastered the art of killing a man
Tho- floods pour out of the sky.

Of the Richard that served one lime so well

We make hut a merry jest,

And point to the great, invulnerable,

New Oregon, pride o' the West.

What a measly voice the old hell had !

Tho' in '76 I s'posc

It wasn't counted so very had,

Tho' it couldn't compare with those

'J hat rock in the higher belfries now

In )|- an) conimi >n affair,

From a rough and noisy Irish row,

To a solemn call to prayer.

And thou how strange— from the Yorktown

Thai the herald r >de alone,

Shouting the news at the dead of night,

Not brawling it over the 'phone.

All these and a thousand things besi le

Admit of a passing glance

Of a Nation swollen up with pride

And viewing itself askance.

It sees from far on the upward swing

The gulf 'twixt the Now and Then,

For truh 'tis lacking in but one thing —

A few of the old-time men.

SPIRIT OF '76.

JULY, 1903

OUR OLD FOLKS.

A NEW departure has begun in this issue of The
Spirit of '?G, which we hope will do some good in
the world. We have tried for a number of years to
care for those who were able to care for themselves, and
they have dor.e so instead of caring for its. There is,
however, a field that has not been apparently of enough
consequence for an) other publication lo devote its col-
umns to, and (hat is the "Old"' people.

Wc have had brought very forcibly to our mind
lately several acts which have opened car eyes to the in-
difference and injustice shown our progenitors.

A case in point is of an old lady who for twenty-five
years acted as housekeeper to her daughter, working for
nothing, or a mere pittance of $2 per month, bringing up
her daughter's children and saving her at least $6,000 in
expense, for which, now that she has grown old and unable
to care for herself, her daughter tells her that she is in
the way in her home, and that if she stays with her she
must pay board from a small pittance (hat the old lady
receives in the way of a pension. The daughter and her
family are independently wealthy, arid it would be no
burden to them to can for the mother who cared for
them timing her lifetime, but the daughter has religious
mania, and wants the money to help build a church.
Now 1 never have been much on religion, but am willing
to stand my chance of hell hereafter with this woman
who forswears her mother for the sake of being known
as a liberal contributor to a place of worship. My read-
ing of the Bible would teach me that God did not want
his contributions from such a source.

Another case is that ol an old gentleman who had ac-
cumulated enough to be comfortable on tor the rest of his
days, found some cousins who were his only known kin,
and brought them East and purchased a fine estate and
put these relatives in charge. These pet-pie are outspoken
about hoping for the death of their benefactor. \\ hat
a pleasant life it must have been for this old man know-
ing the sentiments of his relatives, during the short space
of time he had to remain on earth.

Another old lady of our acquaintance was in the best
of health but naturally had grown somewhat feeble, felt
that she was in the wav and went to bed and died. Now
we feel that if we can be of any use in making pleasant
the remaining days of these old people by running a
department of this kind in Tin; Spirit of "lib we will
have accomplished something, and wc invite correspond-
ence from our readers along this line. Where they see
injustice done to the old people, let us know of it that
we may shame the perpetrators of any such contemptible
actions.

llow many times you go into a house and see the old
people submissive and apologizing for being on earth.
This is a wrong that should be rebuked, and if we can
be a humble instrument in bettering matters we shall feel
repaid.

The Rev. Edward Everett II ale suggests that all old
people above the age of 159 should be pensioned from a
fund thai could be raised by a poll tax in the different
States, and this would do away with paupers. There
certainly should be some means whereby the old people
after they have become incapacitated and unable to care
for themselves, should be taken care 0! by a fund that
would not pauperize them

We invite suggestions along this line.

OVER THE HILLS TO THE POOR HOUSE.

What? no! can it be they've driven

Their father, so helpless and old
(Oh, God! may their crime lie forgiven),

To perish out here in the ( 1 del.
( >h, heaven ! I am saddened and weary,

Sec the tears bow they course down my cheeks.
Oli, this world is lonely and dreary,

And my heart for relief vainly seeks.

Chorus.

For I'm old and I'm helpless and feeble.
And the days of my youth have gone by,

When over the hills to the poor house
1 wandered alone there to die.

Ah, me! on that old doorstep yonder

I've sat with my balk's on my knee,
No father was happier or I under

Than 1 with my little ones three;
'ilie boys both so rosy and chubby,

And Lillie with prattle so sweet!
God knows how7 their father has loved them,

But they've driven him out in the street. — Churns.

It's long years since my Mary was taken,

My faithful and affectionate wife.
Since then I'm forlorn and forsaken,

.And the light has died out of my life.
The boys grew up to manhood! 1 gave them

A deed for the farm, aye, and more.
] gave them the house they were born in.

And now 1 am turned out from its door. — Clionis.

( )h ! children, loved children, vet hear me,

1 have journeyed along on life's stage.
With hope that you all would be with me

To comfort and cheer my old age ;
My life-blood I'd gladly have given

To shield and protect you! but hark!
Though my heart breaks, I'll say it, vou've driven

Me out here to die in the dark. — Chorus.

Rut perhaps they'll live happier without me.

Farewell, dear old home, ah! farewell!
Each pathway and tree here about me

Some memory precious can tell.
\\ ell, the flowers will bloom as bright as ever,

And the birds will sing as sweet as morn,
When over the hills to the poor house

Next spring the old man shall be borne. — Chorus.

PIE AND LONGEVITY.

In the town of Bethel, Vt., the pride and boast of the
people for the wonderful way she carries hei LOJ years is
Mrs. Sarah Chapman.

East year the citizens of the town gathered together in
the Town Hall to do her honor oil her one hundredth
birthday, and the finest speech on the occasion was made
by the dear old ladv herself. She was also presented to
I. resident Roosevelt on his New England trip, Aug. .'!(),
I'.Hiy and made a short address of welcome.

Mrs. Sarah Chapman is a devotee of pie, apple pie.
Twice, and often thrice, a la\ it tickles her cenlurv-old
palate and renews her strength like the eagle's.

resented by its treasurer, Francis Apthorp Foster, of Boston, and

insignia and flags of the two societies were conspicuous in the
decorations.

The business meeting was held at the probate court room at
10:30 a. m., and was preceded by a pleasant social season. At
the entrance to the building was stationed a guard of four ma-
rines, kindly sent from the Port-mouth navy-yard by its com-
mandant, Pear Admiral John J. Read, It included a bugler and
drummer. The courteous act of Admiral Read was fully appre-
ciated by the society. In the corridor was Ftationed Mailman's
Orchestra, four pieces, which at intervals throughout the morn-
ing was heard in concert music. The court room was beautifully
decorated with the national Hag, the dags and insignia of the
order and with potted plants.

The meeting was called to order by Secretary Frederick B.
Philbrook, who appointed a committee of three to escort Presi-
dent John G. Oilman to the hall His entrance with the com-
mittee, Capt. William L. W'illey, in full uniform, bearing the

tiful framed photograph of the insignia of the Georgia society,
which bore the inscription: "The eagle from which this picture
was made was presented to Major John Berrien, secretary Society

AMONG THE SOCIETIES.

According to The Nezv York Tribune, the influence of the
patriotic order.-.— the Sons and the Daughters and the Dames —
upon the public at large is seen in the general awakening to
the beauties of the arts of the eighteenth century and the dawn of
Colonial art. The public is no longer satisfied with picking up
odd pieces in junk shops and second-hand stores, but is showing
individuality and discrimination in the selection and arrange-
ment of furniture and bric-a-brac. Long- forgotten treasures are
unearthed from the barns of one's country neighbor or arc-
dragged out of retirement in the city garret; and because they
are lilted into the' home and not exhibited as curios they give at
once a homelike and artistic feeling. The public seems to be
slowly settling down to the conclusion that the Colonial style is
more truly American for domestic architecture and furnishings
than th.it of any other period.. To see it become the acknowl-
edged type iii the American house of the future is the hope and
wish of many cultured people.

'J he Daughters of [812, of which Mrs. William Gerry Slade, of
332 We^t Eighty-seventh street, is president, held a social meet-
ing at Deimonico's. Mrs. Man Hatch Willard gave a talk, illus-
trated with stereopticon views, on Jamestown and other historic
towns of Virginia.

Members of the Pennsylvania branch of the So icty of Colo-
nial Panics are inten led in the recent presentation to the. New
York Society, Colonial Hemes, of a window from the Rhine-
lander sugar house. The window, which ■>■:>- taken from 01 of
the most celebrated prisons during the Revolution, is the gift of
Mr. T. J. Oakk) Rhine-kinder, and will be used in the Van ( 011-
landt Mansion, New York. Its presentation, on May 2/ih, will
mark' two interesting evejits, the landing of Peter Stuyvesant in
New Amsterdam, on May 27th, 1647, and the opening of the
Van Cortlandl Mansion as a museum May 271I1, 1S97. At the an-
nual meeting of the Pennsylvania State Society of Colonial
Dames, held last week, officers were electee! for the ensuing year,
with the following result: Mrs. A. j. Cassalt, president; Mrs,
C. C. Harrison and Mrs. Jane-, H Winsor, vice presidents; Mrs.
Richard L. Ashhurst, Airs. Horace' Brock, Mis. Charles M.

BETSEY BOSS FLAG HOUSE.

ter ten years of effort: on the par! of patriotic societies the
[dan to purchase tire Betsey Ross house in Philadelphia, where
the first flag of the. thirteen States was designed and made, has
reached a point where only a few thousand dollars are now-
needed to complete the purchase price. The directors of the
American Flag House and the Betsej Ross Memorial Associa-
tion have, by their plan of ten-cent subscriptions from the people,
practically saved the house, and it is now their plan to recon-
struct and isolate the structure. The little house is at present
so closely surrounded by tall business houses that 11 is almost
impossible for a stranger to find it. The societies desire to
acquire and tear down the adjoining buildings, and turn the en-
tire square in which the house stands into a public park. The
same plan has been projected for Fraunces' Tavern in New York.

Another suggestion is that of planting around the house thir-
teen trees, each typical of the Slate from which it was trans-
planted. The United States Department of Agriculture has fur-
nished a list of trees which might appropriately stand as emblems
of the thirteen original States. They are as follows: New-
Hampshire, white birch; Massachusetts, American elm; Rhode
Island, gray birch.; Connecticut, shell bark hickory; New York,
sugar maple; New Jersey, Jersey, or scrub pine; Pennsylvania,
hemlock; Maryland, chestnut; Delaware, white oak; Virginia,
Virginia, or Oldfield pine; North Carolina, short leaf pine; South
Carolina, cypress (why not palmetto.'',); Georgia, long leaf or
pitch pine.

The Betsey Ross Memorial Association has members enrolled
in every State in the Union and in a number of foreign countries.
There are said to be 600 names on the roll of persons living out-
side the United States.

CASABLANCA'S CELEBRATION.
From the Chicago Tribune.

The boy stood on die burning porch,

Whence Jill had made :t scoot;
A Roman candle in his hand

Was just about to shoot.

A frazzled pimvhccl at his side

Was all that slaved to tell
How father, minus halt his hide,

Had tied with grievous yell.

A busted bomb upon the floor,

Some remnants of a hat,
'Suspender buttons— three or four —

That was where grandpa sat.

An isle of safety on tlic lawn,

Where still the grass was green,
Marked where his sister dear had gone

To rub on vaseline.

Anon the smoke rose from the yard,
And then, through one small rift,

We saw where mother, scorched and scarred.
A smelling bottle sniffed.

And at the irate stood Uncle Hill

In fragments of his pants,
Demanding in his accents shrill:

"Send us an ambulance!''

The boy, as we remarked at first,

A Roman candle held ;
He struck a match and lit the fuse;

"This is the last !" he yelled.

The Roman candle fizzed and. flared,

The halls dew far and wide ;
His relatives, ail badly scaled,

Once more essayed to hide.

Alas! ere shelter they could find,

The direful deed w'as done ;
He whirled the caudle all about,

And [linked them every one.

In pain they limped up lo the porch —
They crept from bush and slu uh -•

And each implored in liu ky tones:
"Let me g< t at that cub !"

There came a bur-st of thunder sound.

The buy O where was he?
Bv turns he a is -< nt on a round

C Kdv.iu Morrell, of ...t Orchard street, is a mijdity happ:
Mian;.; man because of the- -aiece.- he has just achieved in a
contest for pike-, offered by the Connecticut Society of the Colu-
nial Daims of America for essays by school pupils ot ih.e State.
J he young man has been awarded second prize in the contest
open 'to I heh SH100! pupils.

Voung Morrell was one of a large number of contestants.
Tlieri was given a choice of six or seven historical subjects on
which in write, lie chose "the Battle of Lexington and Con-
cord." It was necessary to limit the essay to from 1,500 to
2,OCK) words.

The young man is about )8 years of age. He i- the elder
of two '-on-; of Chalk- E. Morrell, and has just keen graduati '
from the High School. Resides winning the Colonial Dames'
prize, he also was awarded a scholarship for Lehigh luicctsity,
open to the hoy making the highest lank in the scientific course
of ike High School. His rank for four years was 7S.56.

Morrell is a modest young fellow, and, although studious, he-
is exceedingly fond ol athletics and out-door spurts. 1 his tond-
ness has been Kent subservient to a desire to attain a high rank
in his studies, however.

"h was my -desire lo get as much as possible out of the High
School course," he said, yesterday.

In the contest for the prize, Morrell was somewhat handi-
capped by the fact that he had to do all the work at home, and
that there were other matters which claimed his attention. Since
entering the school he has earned sufficient money by selling
The Doily Advocate and the New Vork evening papers to pay
practically .ill his expenses. During vacation he has added to
his earnings by caddying on the golf links.

Morrell was born in Stamford. He prepared for the High
School at the Henry street school.

Naturally his mother feels very proud of her son's achievement.

BATTI.KS Of LEXINGTON A.VIi CONCORD.

About the first of September, in 1 77-1. General Gage, by means
of sides, learned ihat there was a powdcrhouse near Quarry Hill,
a place between Medford and, Cambridge. Determined to seize
the powder, he sent a detachment of 250 soldiers up the Mystic.
River. J he soldiers found a large amount of powder and two
fieldpicces. With these they returned to the city in high spirits
over the success of their first expedition. The whole country
was aroused by this act and the colonists began secretly to collect
military stores at Concotd.

Al this lime, the Continental Congress, which was in session,
drew up a "Petition of Rights,"' winch was sent to the Knglish
Parliament, l.'pon receiving this petition, early in March. 1775.
the British Parliament passed an act known as "The Xew Falk-
land Restraining Bill." By this measure, the privilege of fishing
cm the banks of Newfoundland was denied to all the colonies
except New Vork, Delaware and North Carolina. These were ex-
empted in the hope that they would desert the American cause.
but, on the contrary, they remained loyal to the Continental
Congress. The colonies were now ready to rebel against the
mother country.

Matte is of much importance to Massachusetts had reached a
crisis, General Gage, becoming alarmed by the angry manner
of the Americans, began to fortify Boston Neck, a narrow penin-
sula joining the city and the mainland. When the work was
completed he stationed a regiment ot infantry in these fortifica-
tions to prevent the people in the city fron'i communicating with
those outside. The news of this action spread rapidly.

On hearing of these demonstrations on the pert of the colonists.
Gage summoned a general court at Salem, thinking to r emcile
the people; then, as he was afraid of the rising spirit oi liberty,
he countermanded' the order. Nevertheless the members of the
assembly met at tin appointed place, on the fifth of October, 1774.
Finding no one to eugaiii/e the court, they adji urned 10 Con-

L. II. Cornish, Esq., Publisher National Register, S. A. R.:

My Dear Mr. Cornish. — 1 have pleasure in informing you of
jny meeting with the Hon. Thomas Pitts, of this city, president
•of the Michigan Society, S. A. R., to whom I was presented by
in) friend here, the Hon. James E. JJavi^. president of the De-
troit Club.

Mr. Pitts very gladly consented to add to his previous liberal
■contribution towards the publication of the National Register by
.giving a check for one hundred dollars to aid in getting out the
second volume, and by a further check of one hundred dollars
for the purchase of twenty-four copies for the public libraries
of Michigan, and twenty copies for personal distribution, all to
be forwarded as per instructions sent, together with checks, by
registered mail.

It is proper for me to say to you that President Pitts fully
agree- with ex-President-General Logan and President-General
Edwin Warficld as to the high value of the National Register,
and esteemed it a privilege to place copies in all the public
libraries of his native State.

I have not met in the Order a more cultured and kindly-
disposed gentleman than President Pitts. He appreciates the
great labors of the Publication Committee, of the Registrar-Gen-
eral and of the publisher; and, as his checks attest, sturdily sup-
ports them.

The reunion of the Army of Santiago here, to-day, was marked
by a grand military parade, in which I had the honor to take-
part as a veteran of the Civil War. As the Spanish War Vet-
erans swept by us in review I observed that quite a number wore
the Cross of the Order of the Sons of the American Revolution.
The weather is superb.

With kind regards to yourself and staff, I remain.

Very truly yours,

PubiisRers* Announcement.

T TITH the present August number of Tin Spirit of 'y6 the ninth volume of this magazine
/y will be concluded.

Beginning with the September issue, a decided change will take place in the
editorial and financial management of the paper.
Hitherto existing primarily as the official organ of the National Society Sons of the
American Revolution and of several kindred societies. The Spirit of 'j6 has enjoyed a limited
circulation and an exclusive held.

It is the intention of the publishers to extend the scope and original aim of the
magazine as to embrace, «// the patriotic societies, and to cater to their various interests;
furthermore, to make it a magazine of recognized historical value, to devote its columns not only to
the principles, incidents and men of ';6, but the principles, incidents and men of The United State:-.

As "A Magazine of Historical America" it will encourage historical research in. relation to
the American Revolution and the study of American history; it will endeavor to educate its readers,
young and old, to a full realization of the noble principles of American patriotism, liberty, independence
and good citizenship; it will extend its columns to all tilings pertaining to American history, American
art and literature and good government.

1 he publishers desire that readers shall express their personal opinions and beliefs freely,
that they shall give evidence of their interest by offering suggestions and criticisms, and by sending
interesting data and documents for publication/

Edward J. Manx, Business Manager.

A S our readers will sec by the announcement on this
** page, a new policy is to be adopted beginning with
the tenth volume of this magazine. The old features
that were worthy will be continued, but new ideas and
innovations will be made that will attract a more general
circulation to the publication. The present editor and
publisher will still retain supervision, but as his various
ether interests keep him from giving the nccessarv time
and energy to developing this property, he has associated
with him two bright young men who propose to make

I iik Spirit take a pi silion with the leading magazines of
the country, h can he said that for the nine years this
paper has been published ii has never yet missed a num-
ber. Sometimes it has been a little slow in coming out,
but it has always managed to get to those who have paid
for it. It has confined itself to a too narrow field— a ti.'d
that has not appreciated the efforts of the publisher, and
fur this reason it has not been a financial success. Willi
now blood, new ideas, the combination should make a
publication wothy of vour support.

THIS has been the month in which those sections who
have inaugurated the "Old Home Week" idea, have
been greath benefited bv the return of their various sons
and daughters to the old homestead. Sentimentally the
plan is a good one. but financially it has proved a success
to those towns who have adopted the plan and have made
arrangements of an interesting character to please those
who have attended the home meeting.

We have suggested before that the Sons of the Ameri-
can Revolution should take hold of this idea and popu-
larize il with the people; there certainly is no body of
men who should be more interested in the development
of the "Old Home Week*' idea, than the members of the
Sons of the American Revolution. One reason for the
slow growth of the patriotic societies, where composed
of men, is the lack of interest in the welfare of the various
State si icieties.

As the Secretary of the Society which during the year
of I'.iie.' has added, the largest number of new members
to IK rolls, 1 can speak from experience. Five years ago

9°:s

i( was hard work to gel a quorum of twenty-one members
to attend a regular mi cting of the Society; the last meet-
ing held at Lima Park had an attendance of 3S7. The
Secretary of this Society has received no compensation for
his services, but lias an assistant to do the details of the
work. The dues of this Society are greater annually than
any other State society, but the members get more for
their money than any other Slate society.

A member of a New England Slate society said that
the only thing he had received in the three years lie ha
been a. member was a bill each year for his dues. Mam
State societies get into a rut of continuing the same
officers who have lost interest in their respective organi-
ations, or if they have not, have fallen into a rut that is
anything but progressive. This should be changed; as
there are too many progressive men who are willing to
devote their time and energy to the building up of the
Societv, and they shou/d have the chance to do so.

We have heard of a registrar who gets a small fee for

his yearly work when the ticket is made up, standing up
and saying that his business would not permit him to
attend to his <1 /lies, and yet the Society would insist on
electing him.

There are too many men in the Society without ambi-
tion who hold positions that they cannot fill properly;
drop them! puS in new blood, live energetically, and in-
stead of crawling along with a membership of 10,000, the
Society can have 100,000, and be a power in the managc-
he had ment of the country's policy

THE MARTYRS' MONUMENT.

The Martyrs'' Monument has been completed; enough
subscriptions have been promised to make the amount
necessary, when they have sent them into the Treasurer.

Steps will be made for the laying of the corner-stone,
it is hoped, this Fall.

THE PRINCIPLES FOUGHT FOR IN THE WAR
OF THE REVOLUTION.

(By "Vindex"),

Essay written for the National Society of the Suns of the
American Revolution Medal.

Robert Livingston Schuyler, son of Montgomery
Schuyler and Kathcrine Beckman Livingston, was born
in New Yeirl.- City. Was graduated from Columbia Uni-
versity with the Class of 1003, and was an honor man.
He intend-: to devote himself to collegiate work.

It is a truism that the difficulty of writing history varies
inversely with the length of time which has elapsed
between the occurrence and. the recording of events.
Though a century and, a quarter have now gone by since
the classic year F. "T>. the task of writing the histon of
the Aiuorii an Revolution has not yet become an easy one;
and two sis h clissimilai and conflicting stories as those of
Mr. luhri JiYe and Mr. Sydney George lusher may well
confuse the seeker after truth. Differences of opinion
exist not only as to the details and incidents m the
struggle, but also as to the fundamental basis of the
Revolution itself. To the American. Aristotle's dictum

that man is a political animal is especially applicable; and
for him political philosophy has always had a great
attraction. The underlying cause in the conflict which
made America free must always have the deepest interest
for us. What was it?

We are far enough from the Revolution to realize that
it was something more than a mere patriotic outburst and
achievement of independent nationality. It was a laud-
mark in the history of the world. Writers have not been
wanting who affirm that the Revolution was a purely
English movement, similar to the Revolution of 1GSD.
And again it has been held that the Americans justified
their resistance to what they regarded as unjust taxation
on the ground that their connection was with the British
Crown and not with Parliament. But neither argument
would he satisfactory as establishing the principle of "no
taxation without representation;" which was not uni-
versally- operative in England till after the reform of
1832. Whatever the Americans may have professed to
think, it was at the very heart of the American Revolu-
tion. Of course, the patriots were influenced by their
English belief in the rights of Englishmen; and of course
independence was desired by them, at least in 1776. But
it was something deeper than the rights of Englishmen
or the desire for independence which played to the Revo-
lution the part of causation.

In the course of the colonial period, the Americans hail
come to regard themselves as practically independent of
the home government, though they gladly acknowledged
the sovereignty of the king. They denied the right of
Parliament to tax them internally and looked entirely to
their own colonial legislatures as the source of authority.
I he legislatures, by controlling the governor's salary,
held the whip-hand. Therefore, when Great Britain.
after the sucessful termination of the Sc\en Years' War
turned, her attention to remodelling the colonies and sub-
jecting them to control by Parliament, she encountered;
all the difficulties incident to the subjugation of a foreign
people.

The colonists, being essentially political in their nature,
were naturally keenly alive to the PFkUenth Century
theories of government and to the doctrine of the Ri^hi*

of .Man. The writings of lolm

oekc pi

reduced an ef1 eet

on the American analogous to that caused, in Prance by
tin- wrk oi Rousseau. The Fightecnlh Century theon.
was the contract theon ; and when the contract was not
fulfilled the sacred ru-ht of revolution was left a- a last

resort. The individual has, according !o this theory

our forefathers developed it, certain rights by virtue of
his being a man which he does not lose by his voluntary
entrance into society. Among these rights arc the rights
to one's person, property, fumilv and libertv, the latter
being defined as the freedom to do as one plea >es, provided
one docs not thereby infringe upon the equal freedom of
others

Such a theory is strongly individualistic, perhaps anar-
chistic, but it and il alone was the real basis of the Ameri-
can Revolution. And there was reason in the assertion
of South Carolina at the beginning of the late War o\
Secession, that Charleston was but following the example
of Boston. For in 1775 and in 18G0 a contract was being
dissolved, the keeping of which was regarded by one of
tin- contracting parlies as injurious. In each case the sac-
red light of revolution was being invoked. The contract
theory of Jefferson and Calhoun, from which the theory
of States' Rights developed, has fallen into desuetude;
and the organic theory of government, with Webster's
conception of nationality, has come to prevail. But it
was Webster, and not Calhoun, who deviated from the
platform trod by the Revolutionary Fathers.

At the beginning of the Revolution, we hear much of
the idea thar the Americans were making a stand for
those principles for which Englishmen had from time
immemorial contended. William Pitt voiced it when he
said: "America, if she falls, will fall like the strong man
with his arms around the pillars of the Constitution."
And the Whig Party in general looked upon America as
championing the cause of English liberty. Put, to be
consistent, it must then call for a revolution at home, for
it is notorious that hundreds of thousands of Englishmen
were unrepresented in the House of Commons The Tory
Party was consistent : it denied the right of popular rep-
resentation and saw no impropriety in England's govern-
ing her colonies as Spain governed hers. But the Ameri-
cans themselves soon ceased talking of their rights by
inheritance and began to proclaim their rights as men.

We may consider the revolutionary epoch as extending
from 1761 to Iks:]. For it was in 1761, the year before
Rousseau published the "Contrat Social," that James
Otis, in his denunciation of the writs of assistance, based
the claims of the Americans upon the inherent rights of
man. During this period came the Stamp Act and its
repeal, the Townshend Acts, the tax on tea. the Boston
Tea Party, the Boston Port Pill, the Continental Con-
gresses, and the Declaration of Independence — which
placed before the world the real justification of the Ameri-
cans: that their inherent and unalienable rights as men
had been violated. It is universality that makes the
American Declaration and the Declaration of the French
Constituent Assembly of August, 1789, so grand. P
must be obvious to everyone, even the greatest believer
in the unit) of the so-called Anglo-Saxon race, that there
is a world of difference between the "old, undoubted
rights of the English people" and ihe theory of rights
formulated in 1776 and 17S9. England is, as Tennvson
says :

" A land of settled government,
A land of just and old renown.
Where freedom broadens slowly down
From precedent to precedent."

Throughout all English history all constitutional prog-
ress is based ov. acts of Parliament. Against this system
of parliamentary precedent and the exclusiveness of the
British Constitution the American Revolution may b<
considered as a protest. The Englishman has privileges
by virtue of the chance of birth, but the principles de-

veloped by our ancestors applied to all peoples and all

times.

During the Revolution period the . it< « >n
with their bills of rights were drawn up and . . ;
The spirit of the age is clear!- reflect' ■' in them; in fact,
it is to them rather than to the D claration of July
Fourth that Prof. Jellinek, of the University of Heidel-
berg, trace-- the French Declaration, of August, i k ■■'.'.
They all contain elaborate statements of principle.
Throughout the period and again during the era of Ll
Jcffersonian Democracy, which followed the reactionary
movement represented by the Federal Party, the theory
of the Rights of Man was develop d. During the C' 1
troversy over the adoption of the Constitution, too, the
vital interest felt in the theory is shown by the hostile
attitude of the Anti-Federalists, which was caused 1 1
by the lack of any specific Bill of Rights attached I
document. The real sincerity of the people and their
belief in universal rights cannot be doubted. The aliens
who came under our control by the terms of the Louisi-
ana Purchase were welcomed and absorbed in our political
system. The dim and distant foreshad >wing of freedom
for the negro are to be discerned in the Xorthwest Ordi-
nance of 1787, which, was the beginning of the end of
slavery. In the hands of Jefferson the doctrine of the
"consent of the governed" received its most logical de-
velopment; he was in favor of applying the princi] !e of
the referendum to the Constitution. Each, successive
generation should have the right to say whether or not it
would live under the same constitution that had served
as an instrument of government for the preceding genera-
tion.

The cause, then, for which the Revolutionary Fathers
fought was as broad as humanity itself; the Rights 01
Man was the principle fought for in 1776. Thirteen
years later it was fought for again in France. Why was
not the American Revolution followed by such a gigantic
upheaval as was the French? There was no new regime
introduced in America. The church was not attacked;
the government retained much of the character it had
before the Revolution.

The differences in the revolution.- are to be traced to
the differences between the two countries. The French
were trying to establish what they considered to be an
ideal form of government, but one of which they had had
no experience. Our ancestors, on the other hand, were
simply proclaiming as the right of every people those
blessings which they themselves, as Englishmen, had, to
a great extent, enjoyed before the Revolution. This is
the reason why we had no Reign of Terror. Representa-
tion and local self-government were no novelties to the
Americans. They were concrete facts of every- day lite.
To the French, trodden for ages under the heel of despot-
ism, thev were "Furious ideals but almost abstracti

Liberty, Equality and Fraternity were so incompatible
with the Old Regime in France that all conservatism was
abandoned and Liberty became License.' The failure of
the German Parliament of IS 13 to provide a constitution
for Germany on the basis of a system oi Rights is anotl
example of what is likely to happen when a nation tries
to grapple with unfamiliar truths and remodel tyrannical
institutions into an ideal state on the spur of the m - : t.
France in !>■' and Germany in 1S4S both desired a
liberal and just government. I hit to expect them to s* .
what thev wanted at once would be as absurd as to i'\ ow

THE ORDER OF THE OLD GUARD.

THE < )rdcr of the Old Guard was incorporated January
31, 1S0G, and was organized October 15, 1896. It is
a military and social order composed oi lineal descendants
of American patriots, who participated in the Wars of the
Colonial, Revolutionary and \s\> periods, and are to wear
uniforms similar to those worn by officers and soldiers of
those times.

The main objects of the order are to further patriotism,
to teach respect for the American Hag", the Constitution of
the United States and, the proper observance of American
.National holidays.

It is expected that the order will in time be in active
operation in every State in the Union, with the National
Headquarters in Chicago.

Every new member receives, gratis, one year's subscrip-
tion to the ''Spirit of "It;," the official organ oi the Order.

ism in our country has not been properly upheld during

American Colonial wars, and the descendants oi the
patriots who fought or participated in the struggle for

commemorate the memories audi victories of these event-
ful epochs, to collect and secure records, books and histori-
cal matter relating to the above periods, to instil in the

ANNUAL MEETING OF THE RHODE ISLAND
STATE SOCIETY OF THE CINCINNATI.

The animal meeting of the Society of The Cincinnati in the
Stale ot Rhode Island .mi Providence Plantations was held in
Sen, lie chanibci of the old State House at Providenceon the 41I1
of July, j 1/03.

'Ihe Hon. Asa Bird Gardiner, L.I.. D., L. 11. J)., president of
the society, presided and on taking the chair recalled the inter-
esting fact that the society was organized in tin- same historic
chamber on the 4th ot July, 1793 — one hundred and twenty years
ago — Major-General Nathaniel Greene then bemg president, pre-
siding.

'Ihe secretary. George \V. Olney, in Ins report mentioned the
death during tlie past year of one member, closes Danville Co-
burn, of Savannah, Ga., great-grandson of Lieutenant Pierre
Danville, an original member of this State Society, who was a
gallant officer oi the Continental Navj tinder Commodore John
Paid Jones. The death of Air. Coburn left a surviving member-
ship of fifty-seven. Allusion was made to the circumstance that
in no Stale Society of ihe Cincinnati was the membership so
scattered as this, seventeen members only being residents of
Rhode Island, while twenry were residents of tlie city of New-
York and its suburb.-,, two of New York State outside the metrop-
olis, eleven of other Stales, four of France and one each oi
Sweden, Canada, (."'aba and Japan.

ihe report also made mention of the ceremonies attending the
reinterment of tlie remains of .Major-General Nathaniel Greene,
the first president of this State Society, at Savannah, Ga., No-
vember 14, 1902, in which the Rhoe'e Island Cincinnati .partici-
pated, its president, Colonel Gardiner, delivering the oration; the
receipt of a magnificent Sevres vase by the General Society from
the French Government in token of remembrance of tlie dinner
given by members of The Cincinnati in New York in May, 1902,
to the French delegation to the unveiling oi the Rochambeau
statue in Washington; the decoration by the French Government
of the vice-president of this State Society, General James M.
Varnum, with the order of the Legion of Honor in recognition
of the reunion of France and The Cincinnati on the occasion
referred to. at which General Yarnum presided, and the forth-
coming publication by the Rhode Island Society of tlie history
of the Society of The Cincinnati in France by Colonel Gardiner.

On recommendation of the Standing Committee, the following
new hereditary members were elected: George Herbert Holden,
of Providence, R. I., in right of his great-great-grandfather, Cap-
tain and Brevet .Major William Allen, First Regiment Rhode
Island Continental Infantry; William Wheaton Benthall, of Vine-
land, N. J., in right of his great-grandtather, Lieutenant Joseph
Wheaton, First Regiment Rhode Island Continental Infantry,
and Pierre de Stael Olney, of San Francisco, Cal., in right of his
great-great-grandfather, Captain Samuel Snow, First Regiment
Rhode Lland Continental Infantry.

The Marshal of the Day, Oliver Hazard Perry, conducted the
new members, Messrs. Holden and Benthall, into the meeting
and they signed the Institution. Ex-Governor Elisha Dyer, of
Rhode island, elected an honorary member at a previous meet-
ing, being present, also signed the Institution.

The society adopted a declaratory resolution concerning the
right of an hereditary member to formally introduce his eldest
lineal male descendant at common law to the society at an annual
meeting, said descendant thereafter being privileged to attend the
meetings of the society, but without the right to vote. In con-
formity to this resolution a member, Mr. Augustus F. Arnold,
presented to the society his son, Mr. Norman A. Arnold. Under
the same rule Mrs. John Nicholas Brown presented her minor
son, John Nicholas Brown, Jr., at the annual meeting of the
society on the 4th of July, 19x32.

Mr. William Watts Sherman, chairman of the special com-
mittee appointed at the annual meeting in 1901 to "select an ap-
propriate air, or tune, to be used in singing the anthem, 'Amer-
ica' at the meeting of this society," reported that the committee
shortly after its appointment issued a circular inviting composers
to enter into a competition for a gold medal to be awarded by
ihe societv for the best composition for the purpose referred to,
in response to which five hundred and seventeen contributions
were received within the limit of time fixed upon and many
others too late to be examined; that the compositions received
within the time limit were examined by several gentlemen who
consented to be the musical advisers of ihe committee. Messrs.
Dudley Buck, Samuel i'. Warren. G. Edward Stubbs and Albeit
R. Gallatm and Professor Horatio Barker, of Yale University,
acting separately, who all expressed the opinion that none of ihe
compositions offered seemed to possess all the qualities of an
absolutely satisfactory setting . that most of these advisers, how-
ever, designated one or more of the' compositions as being the
best received, although no two advisers agreed en any one piece.
and that at a meeting of the committee held June 25 the selections

oi ihe musical adviseri and a great number of others were trie.'
and examined, with ' . .- result iliat it was unanimously res.nl ved
that, while no pie-, sju-t 1!... committee's complete ap'prol 1
yt the one compost I b\ or. Arthur C. Johnstone, of Aew 1'ork,
wtis the best ottered and merited the award of the medal offered
by the society.

J he report of the c mmittee was accepted and a motion adopted
that tlie composer be invited to the commemorative celebration
by the society in the afternoon and that the medal then be pre-
sented to bun by ill'. ; > - dent.

flic special committee appointed tit the lasl meeting to urge
upon the Rhode Island Legislature ihe making of an appropria-
tion for tlie purchase or condemnation for a public park of Bun's
Hill, the scene of the principal action in the Battle of Rhode
Island, August 29, 177S, reported progress and was continued.

'ihe vice-president, General Varnum, read the following letter
from General Brugere, commander-in-chief of ihe Army of
F ranee, addressed to him under dale of Pan-, December ti, 19 1 :

"ihe members of tlie French Mission, of which 1 had the
honor to be the head, ,vcrc especially touched by the cordial re-
ception extended to them 111 New \ ork by the members 01' the
Order of 'ihe Cincinnati.

"ihey will never forget the charming reunion of May 27, [902,
which showed how close and lasting are '.he bonds which have
united the United States and France since their soldiers fought
and shed their blood side by side under tlie leadership of the
great Washington.

"I requested the French Government to do us the favor of
sending to the Order of The Cincinnati some object of art as a
testimonial of our warm sympathy and profound gratitude, and
I am happy to be able to announce to you that my request was
favorably received, and that the Minister oi Foreign Affairs will
soon transmit to you. through our Ambassador, a vase from the
National Manufactory, at Sevres, which was selected by myself,
and which 1 beg that you will have placed among the archives
and valued possessions of your Order as a souvenir of our too
brief sojourn with you."

The president presented a letter from M. Emile Loubet, Presi-
dent of tlie French Republic, accepting the honorary membership
in the society, to which he was elected at ihe annual meeting
Jul}- 4, 1902, in which lie said:

"J highly appreciate the sentiment that has prompted the society
to confer upon me this honor. It is doubly agreeable to me to
accept it, as recalling the glorious confraternity of arms which
has united the two nations and as a new and especial token of tlie
ties of friendship which since the establishment of the great
American Republic have never ceased to exist between France
and the United States.''

An election of officers and delegates to the Genera! Society
resulted as follows: President, Hon. Asa Bird Gardiner, LL. D.,
L. II. D. ; Vice-President. Hon. James M. Varnum, A. M., LL. B.;
Secretary, George W. Olney, LL. B. ; Assistant Secretary, Fhomas

Sullivan, Hon Horatio Rogers, William Dehon King, Hon. Wil-
liam Paine Sheffield. Alternates — George W. Olney, ]\oi\. Charles
Warren Lippitt, Edward Aborn Greene, Henry Jackson Bright-
man, William Watts Sherman.

In accordance with tlie regulations of tlie society, the Princi-
ples of the General Institution were read by Mr. Addeman, after
which the society adjourned sine die.

THE CELEBRATION OF INDEPENDENCE DAY.

The custom of the Rhode Island Society of The Cincinnati has
always been to celebrate the Fourth of July in tlie old-fashioned
way. with an oration and the reading of the Declaration of Inde-
pendence and other appropriate ceremonies.

The one hundred and twenty-seventh anniversary oi ihe day
was commemorated by exercises in the Representatives' Hall of
the Old State House, Providence, beginning at 3 o'clock p. m.

A large audience was assembled at the invitation of The Cin-
cinnati to take part in the celebration, there being present the
Rhode Island State Societies oi the Daughters of the American
Revolution, Colonial Dames, Sons of the Revolution, Sons of
the American Revolution, Colonial Wars and Foreign Wars.

The president of tlie society occupied the chair, whit the Hon.
Horace F. Horton, of the Slate Senate, a.t his right. The p-o-
gram of exercises was as follows:

The celebration was made especially interesting by the pre-
sentation of the medal awarded by the society to Mr. Arthur E.
Johnstone, of New York, for tlie best musical setting to the
words of "My Country lis of Thee" (."America '), ami the
singing of the new air, which was led by a quartette from the
choir of Grace Episcopal Church, of Providence, under the direc-
tion of the composer. i'he lirst stanza was followed by a spon-
taneous and enthusiastic outbreak of applause from the audience,
and the success of the air was demonstrated by the ease with
which the remaining verses were sung by all present.

While the new air will probably neit supplant that of "God
Save the King," in the estimation of the public, so familiar has
the latter now become by habitual use' lor many years in the
rendition of "America,'' tlie former will be accepted by many as
a pleasing variation, and, at any rate, it will be substituted for
the British music in the singing of oui national hymn at tlie
celebrations ol the Rhode Island Society of The Cincinnati. The
new air will be published, with explanatory text, in the October
number of 1 he Ladies' Home Journal.

The medal was presented to the composer, Mr. Johnstone,
after some appropriate remarks by .Mr. \\ illiam Watts Sherman,
chairman of the special committee, and Mr. Johnstone made a
graceful response.

Among the guests of the society present on this interesting
occasion was the Hon. Samuel F. Smith, of Iowa, son of the
composer of "America." Mr. Smith had with him the original
manuscript of the hymn, which is on a small piece of paper, about
half the size of a sheet of notepapcr.

Mr. Parsons' address was a scholarly and entertaining con-
sideration of the various airs which have passed into common-
usage as representative of the patriotic emotions of the American
people. The subject was treated both from the historic and
critical points of view. Referring specifically to the origin of
"God Save the King," which has been so long wedded to Mr.
Smith's immortal hymn, Mr. Parsons said:

"Henry Carey, the popular and gifted composer of the once
famous song, 'Sally in Our Alley,' first sang 'God Save the King,'
amid great applause at a meeting convened in a tavern in Corn-
hill, London, in 1740, to celebrate the cat ture of Porto Bcllo, and
upon that occasion Carey made the direct statement that both, the
words and the music of 'God Save the King,' were composed by
himself. The fact that his claim was not disputed at the time-
would seem to settle the question of authorship in Carey's favor.
This is the verdict of both the learned Chrysander in Germany
and still more recently of Elson, of Boston."

THE ANNUAL BANQUET.

The by-laws of the Rhode Island Society of The Cincinnati
require the members to dine together on the Fourth of July, and
this function has been observed since the foundation of the
society in 1783 and annually when it has been in active exist-
ence. The annual commemorative dinner took place this year at
the University Club in Providence in the evening. Among the
guests were the Governor of the State, who sat at the right of the
president; Senator Horace F. Horton, the Hon. Samuel F. Smith,
of Iowa; George Parker Winship, curator of the John Carter
•Brown Library; Arthur F. Johnstone, the composer; Edward
Field, the historian of Rhode Island; Dr. Charles Carroll Bom-
baugh, of Maryland; Dr. Elmer Lee, of New York, and John M.
Yarnum, of Boston.

SOCIETY OF THE CINCINNATI IN THE STATE OF

GEORGIA.

(Extract from the Georgia Gazette, May 19th, 1791, referring to

General Washington's visit to Savannah.;

Address of the Society of the Cincinnati in the State of Georgia
to General George Washington, President of the United States
and President-General of the Society of the Cincinnati:

Sir — We, the members of the Society of the Cincinnati in the
State of Georgia, beg leave to offer our most sincere congratula-
tions on your safe arrival in this State.

It is more easy for you to imagine than for us to describe the
mingled emotions of gratitude, of respect and affection your pres-
ence inspires, whether we look back to the interesting scenes of
the late war, when three millions of people committed their
clearest treasure, their liberties, to your protection, or to the
present time, when the same people became an independent em-
pire, have called on you with one voice to be the guardian of
their government and laws. In either view we shall find equal
motives of admiration for the wisdom of your conduct and of
reverence for your virtues. In these sentiments we are conscious
that we do but express the feeling of every American citizen;
yet we flatter ourselves we may justly be supposed to have a little
more lively degree of sensibility of our affection from the rela-
tion in which we stand, as officers who had the honor to serve
under you during the late war, and as President-General of our
society — a relation in which it is our highest pride to be con-
sidered.

This is, perhaps, the last opportunity we may have of tendering
to you in person the sincere professions of our attachment. Be
pleased to accept them, sir, as the genuine effusion of our hearts,
and suffer us at the same time, to assure you, that it shall be our
constant endeavor to pursue the same conduct towards our coun-
try that formerly procured us the honor of your esteem and
regard.

That you may long— very long — live to enjoy the grateful ap-
plause of mankind, the noblest reward of virtue, and make your
fellow-citizens happy, is our ardent wish, and shall be our con-
stant prayer.

By order

Anthony Wayne, President.

president Washington's reply.
To the Members of the Society of the Cincinnati in the State of

Georgia:

Gentlemen — Your congratulations on my safe arrival in this
State are received with grateful sensibility. Your esteem and
attachment are replied to with truth and affection. Gould the
praise of an individual confer distinction on nan whose merits
are recorded in the independence md sovereignty of their coun-
try. I would .o}<\, with grateful pride, the tribute of my testimony
to the public acknowledgment. L would say how much you had
achieved, how much you had endured in the cause ot freedom.
Nor should my applause be confined to the military virtues of
your character.' With the endearing epithet of gallant brother
soldiers '.our civic worth has connected the respectable title of
deserving fellow-citi '.ens,

Your conduct in war commanded my esteem, your behavior m
pea.ee my approbation. _

My opinion will ever do justice to your merits. My mart will
reciprocate your affection, and mv best wishes ""PJon your happi-
ness.

G. Washington.

one of the earliest settlers there: had Samuel, John. Jacob. Isaac,

LEONARD.- -See pp. 322-323 ■"'Genealogical Guide to the Early
Settlers of America. '

I will not attempt til correct Henry, James, John. Philip and
Rice Leonard because these are other genealogists who have
written then; up. but if Solomon Leonard.

"The descendants >i Solomon, of Duxbury, 1637; John, ()f
Springfield, 1639; James, of Taunton, and Henry, of \cv, Jer-
sey, art very numerous and are scattered all through this conn
try. Tlie evidences are very cogent, if not entire!) conclusive,

'dial all of them were related and Iron: the same not very remote
ancestor." (Solomon Leonard are! His Descendants, page 11.;

Solomon Leonard, tin earliest settler in this counln In 1
the family name of whom we have record, and the ancestor of
what has long la en known as the '"Bridgewater Branch of the
Leonard Family." must have been born about 1610 in Monmouth-
shire or vicinity, in the southwesterly part of England, lie a-ems
to have emigrated first to Leyden, in Holland, probably with his
father, whose name it i believed was Samuel. There is ome
probability that they came to this country together if so, the
father must have died soon after. 'I he exact period that Solomon
emigrated to tin'.- country and the place from which he embarked
it has been impossible to ascertain. It has been staled that he
came with Roger Chandler and perhaps Edmund Chandler, wl ■
were probably brothers. They were both taxed in Plymouth and
admitted freemen in 1633, and soon after were in Duxbury, where
both had grants cf land. Solomon Leonard was engaged in the
service of the Colony Company in Plymouth for a time, but be-
came one of the early settlers of Duxbury (p. 13). The exact
dale of his settlement in Duxbury cannot be fixed; the record
show he was there when the town was incorporated, 1037 (p. 14).
Solomon Leonard beer: me one of the original proprietors of
Bridgewater, and oik of the earliest settlers there — Mr. Savage
says as early as 1045. but it must have been some years later.
The grant of the plantation by the conn was not until 16.45, <ntd
the Indian title to the territory was made by devd of "the go ■',
old Massasoit" dated March 23, 1640. The town was not in-
corporated as a distinct township until 1056 (p. to). After a
faithful and indefatigable search of many years it is bird
obliged to say no record can be given of the family name of his
wife, the date of their marriage or the births of their children.
We only know she bore the excellent name of Mary. They were
undoubtedly married before 1640 and had a large family of chil-
dren, most of them probably born in Duxbury and several dying
while voting (p. 17). It has been impossible to ascertain when
his death occurred. He was probably buried in the ancient grave-
yard at West Bridgewater, "but no man knoweth of hi- sepulchre
unto this day." and. strange as it may seem, the same i- true of
all the members of his family. Judge Mitchell, in his "History
of Bridgewater." -ays he died in 16S6, and this error has been re-
peated by Mr. Savage and by innumerable followers. This seems
very strange, for both these gentlemen were familiar with the
court records of Plymouth, the records of deeds there and, the
Proprietors' record- of Bridgewater, either one of which would
have shown that he must have died many years before the perio !
named. Judge Mitchell also says: "His estate was settled by
his son Samuel, and was the first settlement recorded in Ply-
mouth Probate Court." Mr. Savage notices this statement and
seems to take exception; to it. but makes no explanation. I tail
to find any record of the settlement of the estate. But few
papers relating to transactions during that period (King Philip's
War) can be found (p. 23). In the records of deeds of Ply-
mouth Colony, hook 3. page 199, a confirmatory deed from Sam-
uel Leonard to his brother John is recorded, which states : "For-
asmuch a-' nly father. Sollomon Leonard, of Bridgewater. while
he was living, did with his mother fully and firmly bestow on my
brother John Leonard" " — and not having made deed of gift unto
ni) brother, John Leonard, being prevented by death, I. Samuei
Leonard, confirm my hand and seal this first of the third month.
May. 1671." Abo book 4. page 5. '•Whereas Nicholas Byntm and
Sollomon Leonard did exchange laud and possess them several
years before the death of Sollomon Leonard and Samuel ^Leo-
nard, his son, doe ratify and confirm the sab! exchange." &:.
"Acknowledged by Nicholas Byram and Samuel Leonard hetWe
Constant Sotuhworth, asistant, June 2d, 1674." And Plymouth
Colony record,-, court order-, vol. .-. page 170, October 27, 10.75.
"In reference unto the dispose of Sollomon Leonr.rdson. of
Bridgewater, deceased, the court have ordered that such pticulars
as belong to Samuel Leonardson, the eldest son of said." &c.
"Sealed and given this 27 of October. 1675-" fP- -d Why
leg.d steps were not sooner taken to settle the estate we can only
conjecture. Perhaps efforts to do this by agreement were made
and faded. Possibly it may have been arranged to defer it until
the death of the widow, which had doubtless now occurred, as
no mention is 111.de of her and no provision granted in the ord
,,f the conn. In the administrator's bond Solomon Leonard, is
called "weaver." This is the only instance that has been found
where he lias been so c:V..<\. In all legal instruments of that day
it was the custom to name the employment of the part: [l is

possible that he ma) have served an apprenticeship at weaving in
his early vears and followed it to some extent through life, h I
more probable that he had become unable to perform the hard
work if th • farm and the last work In did was wcavng. (p. 27. 1
